Sml Saxophone Serial Numbers

Every forum I read just compares the mark vii to the mark vi sayin that is pales in comparison and not as good.

Sml Saxophone Serial Numbers And Value
The identity of the true maker is often impossible to trace, but here are a few of the most commonly seen “stencils” and their true identity. These horns are NOT the same as the manufacturer’s “house brand” and do NOT follow the same serial number sequence. There is almost no information available on Asian made stencils. SML Serial Numbers. In the instances when I needed to have more than 400 horns produced in a year, I tried to average Fred's serial numbers with the verified ones I have. In other words, in general terms, this serial number chart is pretty accurate. In specific terms, it isn't. The only horns that can be 100% accurately identified by date are the Supers and Model 49.

Hi, I really enjoy reading this site, (especially this page) as many others do.
Correct me if I am wrong but are most SML fans Tenor owners (Rev D or GM1) and is this because of the oversized bell? I have just bought an Alto on Ebay and I hope it lives up to the recommendations from here, Saxpics (hi Pete) & elsewhere.
Also excuse my ignorance, but if there are only 27,000 Serial numbers spread across Tenor, Alto, Baritone & Soprano of which X,000 are stencils and x,000 are standard models, this is a very rare make ? how many tenors or altos etc. Is this the case or are there serial numbers for each model so are there are upto 100,000 overall?
These pages usually get lots of views and few comments.
I would prefer lots of comments!

* Couesnon:
Most vintage Couesnon horns, from appx. 1882 to appx. 1935, have a 'grenade' on the bell with a number engraved in it. That number is the year built. Newer horns were made from appx. 1950 to appx. 1980, but I have yet to find a serial number chart for these years.
