1970 would be way off. You can't leave the R in front of the number off. This was during a time when Selmer outsourced manufacturers, Czech, German and American. My research leads me to assume that those with RXXXX were most likely made in the 30's, whereas the serial numbers with 5 numbers after the R were probably made in the 40's. Since records are virtually non-existent, this can only be considered guesswork. Until we brass collectors pool our resources on the subject, we can only go by design of horn, case, and possibly included mouth piece and papers. I have read that some of the 'Manhattans' did NOT have the R in front, so possibly those had a different manufacturer.
