Just wondering how you know it was one of the first ten built . . .

I guess the serial number A9 has something to do with it.

Yes John,
the serial number is A9, i was wondering if there was a resource available where i could get a valuation as it's time for it to
go on to a new family

Welcome to the RRF! Glad to see you made it over here.

The old serial number systems used over the years don't necessarily make sense, and it's hard to tell from just the number when a particular instrument was actually made. But, there are a few folks who can tell a lot by looking at various features and details, which is why pictures are good.

Anyway, probably the best place to ask is under the "Steels" section of this forum. You can likely get a good estimate of value there as well.
