Kohlert or Amati?

Hello all, I know, this is not a clarinet question, but I have exhausted all means of finding more info on this, so hopefully some of you in the know could share your knowledge or experience.

I am trying to determine who actually manufactured my newly-acquired baritone sax. It's marked "Lafleur - Made for Boosey & Hawkes" on the bell, and on the neck it's marekd "Made in Czechoslovakia". Could be as old as 30 years old, to low A, lacquered body, nickel plated keys.

I've learned from my research on this board on others that this is a stenciled horn made either by Kohlert or Amati, depending on manufactured year, so would can give a good guess as to which was the manufacturer based on the serial number "1811XX"?

Thank you very much in advance.

Willy
