Selmers with no model?

Hello,
What are the selmers, that have no model on then, classified as? If the serial number falls in the middle of the CTs, does that make it a CT or something else?
Thanks
Bob

justbob,
Selmer used CT/BT/RI etc for marketing purposes in the US. Serial numbers in the same range as these have the same designs. The instrument was purchased in Europe probably.

J B says it very well [per my experience] with my '32 RI full Boehm and now 3 P series '52-3 17/6 's. HOWEVER, the 3 P's, ?all CT's??, are widely diff. from each other in playing character, ranging from "resistant" to "free", "dark" to "bright" with the same mp/reed!, in accord with ser #s 22xx [not model-marked, a Fr import, I'm told] to 97xx, so "go-figure"!!. All are VG, but being an old dance-bander, I prefer the P 970x!! Will try it on church-classics before long, may post results. Luck, Don
