The 700's were made from 1981-1986. (This one, probably 1983-84) Silver head, body and foot, plated keywork, Drawn tone holes. You probably have a headjoint marking on there as well, Usually near the crown on the backside. Standard pinless mechanism..

Lock and key, no. But it's a nice flute. Can look up a value tonight...

There were 3 flute models above this with only one handmade at the time. The current "loose" equivalent is a 795 Elegante...
