Wow, saxophone fans check this mouthpiece out! This is a VERY vintage Berg Larsen tenor piece. This is classified as a "slant signature" Berg with the logo being at a 45 degree angle on the shank. This has a long body and a gradual sloping beak, the true tale signs of a very early Berg. This model is one of the first metal Berg Larsens ever made! This is also stamped a 110/0, a huge opening for the time period this was made.
Here is some information from Theo Wanne's mouthpiece museum website:
Made in the 1940s, these were the first mouthpieces made by Berg Larsen. These are very distinctive both for the long, gradual sloping bite area (though the rubber versions are more abrupt) and their very long table that extends quite a bit beyond the reed. They all have a bullet cut chamber and are the rarest of all the Bergs. The rubber versions tend to be quite thick (wide) in the body. Mr. Larsen called the metal version, the ‘Special’ version being that it was made out of “Special Sheffield Stainless Steel”. The Very Vintage Duck Bill Berg Larsen’s were made in soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.
