Dating of Selmer clarinet

Author: Douglas

I have been given a vintage Selmer Paris clarinet, serial # K5235. The Selmer logo is the usual, later, Henri Selmer with a laurel wreath around it. In looking at the serial number listings on Sneezy and elsewhere, the Selmer serial numbers starting with a letter all start with L, dating to 1931 and then go on through the alphabet. Where do I place a serial with a K at the beginning? I am assuming it dates to about 1930 and that seems about right from the limited information I received from the previous owner. Can anyone direct me to a Selmer serial number list that would have this K series dated? Thanks.
