Well, the laquer is brass and it is only coming off the thumb rest, octave key, and slightly on the alternate right index finger keys (sorry, dont know the terminology). And yea it has VIII below the thumb rest. The pads are actually in good condition (let a friend test it w/ his mouthpiece); im not really sure why unless they were replaced sometime recently before it was given to me. Seems they should be dried out from being in utah for 60 years. Thank you guys for all of your help :)

P.S. Um, (*cringe*) who is Charlie Parker?
