From what I saw online, according to the serial number this is from 1959. I would check it yourself to be sure the serial number is in the pictures. It plays great, although there is some damage on the underside of the trombone, I've included pictures of it. Comes with a case. The case is in need of some repair. I'm not sure what the dark spots are on the case, whether it be mildew or just water damage but keep that in mind. You might want to get a new case. I'm open to offers.
