Deford Silver Flute

[Card2132]

Hi everyone,
I just came across a silver-made Deford flute with an amazing sound (quite unique actualy) and great mechanism...
I always tought that Deford flutes were of student-quality and did not expect this kind of quality
from them. (It is of a par with my 1962 commercial Haynes).
Does anybody have any info on this model? It is marked silver on all parts and the headjoint
is remarquable-am not sure if the keys are made of silver or silver-plated.
Thanks in advance.
