Bari needs a neck and the tenor needs a upper back key.

I'll agree with the Martin serial number as mapping to 1928, plus or minus a year or two. Couple things:

* The lacquer, whatever remains of it, probably isn't original. It's not necessarily "re-lacquered". It's just that the horn was probably purchased as bare brass.
* The horn is only keyed to high Eb. Depending on what kind of music you like to play, it might not be an issue for you.
* I had to refresh my memory. The neck on these horns have an octave pip. That might be hard to find. Of course, you can buy a new one at Gloger-Handkraft ... for about $440 US. I can't see the top of the horn, so you need to make sure that the octave key, itself, is present.

Quinn's got a tenor around the same age as your horn and he takes 1.5 billion pics per ad, so check out his latest ebay ad. It'll probably show you all the keywork you want to see.

I also found this ebay seller while Googling. He's got parts from a bunch of horns for sale.

The alto looks like an alto. If you have a specific question, we'll try to help.

In closing, I'll mention that the Martin and Buescher tenor like big chamber mouthpieces, like the Sigurd Rascher. Your mileage may vary. Hey, if your horns came with period mouthpieces, so much the better.
