Hi Petrina,
Are those numbers under the keys stamped "into" the metal i.e. they go below the surface of the key, or are the numbers raised "above" the surface of the key.
perhaps you could also describe the shape / design of the B&H logo.
I have seen a few logos of that period that were quite small and circular, unlike anything normally seen on their clarinets.
Another clue might be the style of the thumbrest. does it sit on the surface of the wood, or is it set into the wood.
re the note by Zia, the finalised production 926 Imperials had the smooth body rings but the prototypes had french style banded rings.
Just to cloud matters I have seen some 1946 produced 926s with smooth rings but a lower serial number than some of the prototypes with grooved rings.
The way B&H issued serial numbers can be quite confusing.
