Notes re: my H. Freeman:

Serial number on mine is at the top of the lower joint: A sideways zero (!), followed by "0123". I have never seen a sideways "0" before.

Made in France on mine is ONLY on the top joint, just below the H. Freeman logo. Nowhere else.

All the keywork looks identical to yours. I'll try to upload pictures tonight.

All the best,
George Stalle

PS: I did a preliminary play test today and even with a cracked barrel and bell (pretty nicely repaired), and in need of new pads, it was pretty solid.

The wood is about as dense a grain as you can get, to my eyes. More black than yours: I detected some brownish hue in yours? Mine is a deep black grenadilla.
