Looking for value of clarient

I have the serial number for my clarinet. The model number rubbed off, but I believe it is an E13 Buffet Clarinet. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to look up the information with just a serial number?

The E13 has stamped logos that shouldn't rub off. It will also have 'Made in France' under the logos.

If the logos have completely rubbed off on your clarinet, then it's most likely an E11. The more recent ones are wood and have a black painted finish that hides the natural wood grain.

I think all E13 serial numbers have a prefix of "K"
In the past several years they have 6 digits K123456
Older ones mostly have 5 digits K12345

E11s do not have the K and follow the Schreiber number list, having purely numeric serials and generally 5,6 or 7 digits depending on vintage
