No... The number on the barrel is not the serial number of the clarinet. The R13B68 designation is for a 68mm barrel for an R13 clarinet.

The serial numbers for an R13 clarinet are found on the lower portion on both the upper and lower joints.

If, as you noted, the bell of your clarinet says "Carl Fischer", my guess is that the barrel you have is a newer Buffet replacement barrel ...GBK
