Re: Selmer Metal Albert Systems...

Thanks for the links, but they don't shed any light on other brand names made by Selmer. I didn't know Selmer made stencil instruments or didn't put their own name on their own instruments (apart from the Adolphe saxes they made).

Sterling was a model name used by Selmer London on imported instruments to fill a gap in the lineup (other Selmer London instruments were Console and Gold Seal) and were either Malernes or other French, Italian, Czechoslovakian or Chinese instruments with the Selmer Paris ones being at the top.

What I can see is the thumbrest on this one is the same as the metal Selmer in the photos on the first site (the clariboles one) in that it's a large, elongated S-shaped piece of sheet metal to add depth.
