I have a copy of Carl Sawicki's book "The oboe revealed" which does =
show some of the serial numbering systems used by some of the makers. =
According to Mr Sawicki Rigoutat numbers =
{quote} =
consists of three different formats: a single letter followed by =
numbers, duplicate letters followed by numbers, and ascending letters =
followed by numbers. (This listing includes oboe, English horn and =
oboe d'amore.)
Y 1959-1960
Z 1961-1964
AA 1965-Apr 1966
BB Apr 1966-July 1971
EE Sept 1971-July 1974
HH July 1974-Dec 1976
JJ Jan 1977-Dec 1977

I could go on but your historic instrument probably won't be listed in =
the more recent dates. My question is can you find a letter before =
the '108'?
Hope this helps.
Brightest Blessings

I wander wether the list people could help me out finding the year in =
which
my "historical" E.H. was produced. It is a Rigoutat with a serial =

108.
They, at Rigoutat I mean, couldn't solve the question. It was ofcourse
produced by Rigoutat the father which had a different serial numbering =
then
