If anyone has a B&H 1010 within these serial numbers, could you post some photos of the keywork as I'm trying to work out why the one I saw the other day doesn't seem to ring true.
It has the usual thick barrel, but the keywork is of the '50s style (two trill key guides, adjusting screw going through the throat G# cup arm, short symmetric C#/G# touch, bridge key pieces are reversed (flared on top joint and parallel sided on the lower joint) and smooth LH F/C lever touchpiece) and the serial numbers have been stamped with different shaped numbers, stamped fairly crudely and illegibly and in the wrong place on the top joint.
This one doesn't have an Acton vent, not sure exactly when they were being fitted as standard (year or serial number), so that would also be good to know.
