I had an Alex like this years ago. This look like the "Kaiser Model" You will only know by measuring various parts. If the bell is about 18" it is the kaiser, if it is 16.5" it is the 4/4 model. I agree wityh Kreating, this is about late 60's at the newest, based on the linkage. Also the bore will be about .840". A GREAT Instrument. I have a mouthpiece I had made to fit it. It is a copy of the old Miraphone C-3 (I do not know how miraphone now numbers) with a larger shank. If you want the mouthpiece e-mail me. You have gem there, most likely, incredible sounding instrument.
