Can you take a photo of the logo on the top joint?

I am not familiar with the stamping of the pre war 926 clarinets - something tells me it may look a lot like the pre war 1010s which were stamped very simply:

Made By
Boosey and Hawkes Ltd
London
34XXX
LP

What sort of mouthpiece do you play with it? I can see how it might be difficult to distinguish between an old 926 and 1010 clarinet as sometimes the bore has warped and opened over time leading to unusual tuning tendencies. If it isnt clear then you should have the clarinet measured internally to determine what it is.

I have seen some very warped pre war 1010 clarinets that tuned pretty well with a small bore mouthpiece; the small bore corrected the wide twelfths in the left hand.
