Re: Buffet RC A With Filed Serial Number...

Both restamped serial numbers are matching (335xxx).

Had just one serial number been filed out and restamped matching the original number (regardless if the stamps were of the same style) then I wouldn't be so suspicious as there's usually a reasonable explanation for that - usually a transplanted joint (which I've done with several Greenlines).

I've seen an R13 where the top joint serial number had been stamped above the speaker tube with the same style numbers as B&H clarinets - which shows the top joint transplant was carried out by B&H.

The owner bought this clarinet (and its Bb counterpart) from a major UK retailer (not Howarth).
