I hope this will be of any help,
The 1914 Date is simply the patent date of the instrument (for the rolled tone holes). I would assume what you have is a vintage Conn Alto saxophone. The L is for Low Pitch (which is fine). Cannot ...

Apart from that, other problem is that the instrument is too big (of course this is Baritone) for me to reach right hand ( I am not t...
