I've read somewhere quite a while back so I can not reference the writing, but it was a history of clarinet manufacture in France. This writing claimed that craftsmen from Buffet et al would work at another companies after their shift was over since they were located in close proximity. I would like to say two of them were Malerne and Buffet but can't be 100% since the reading was quite a long time ago. Maybe someone else can verify. Oh, yes I remember now. There was a web site a French fellow put up that was developing some sort of a historical museum of instrument manufature in France. I don't know if the site is still up. The only reason I know is because he bought a rather unique antique Noblet clarinet from me when I was still participating in the "auction" site and told me of the project in his emails.

At any rate, this might give an explaination as to why the letter was double stamped with two different letters.
