The serial number dates the instrument to 1980 but it could be 1973 due to an error in the factory serial number system, where instruments were given incorrect serial numbers. The serial on this one is right in the middle of that run, so it's more likely a 1973 instrument.
Supplied with the original case. Please note, the stitched case binding has come loose but this does not affect how the case operates. No reeds included.
