Dating an Armstrong Flute

[Phoenix0922]

Hello!

I have acquired an Armstrong flute model 70. All three parts are sterling silver and it's tuned to A=442, and the keys, rods, and lip plate are plated with gold. The serial number doesn't have a true "prefix" (#-###...), but it begins with the number six. According to the Conn-Selmer website, the closest I can make is it would be manufactured in 1973. If someone with more expertise than me could help out, that'd be amazing!

Thanks!

It's likely an Armstrong Emeritus Model 70 made in the 70's. As you noted, it is sterling silver. I don't know much more about the Model 70 other than it is a closed hole flute.

I believe this is similar to yours:
