Help with ID of a Conn Naked Lady Bari Sax

I have a Conn naked lady bari sax. I'm trying to figure out the model and year. The serial number is 134128. The engraving is a full lady, head to toe. The bell says C.G. Conn LTD. This is what is around the serial: Pat. Dec. 8 1914 Unreadable numbers ending in 34 134128 L

    By the ser# this would not be the Naked Lady model, well b4 they started. Your ser# is from the 20's, NLdy's started around the 30's to late 50's. Full Lady engraving might be an after market engraving. I'm going from memory here.

      If the ser# is correct and there is a full view of a lady on the bell, you would probably have the New Wonder model, Virtuoso, possibly Deluxe. Does it have rolled tone holes? These are great horns and a real find if this is what it is. Check out the Saxquest photo section.

          Sorry, not sure what you mean by crossbar.

          look at the brace that keeps the bell and body tubs together. if its in an "X" shape, its a crossbar.

          Nope, it's not a crossbar.
