I just got a B&H Imperial 926 Bb. It's missing the "Made in England" that usually appears at the very top (back) of the bottom joint, and the serial number -- which matches on both joints, and is machine-imprinted, not hand carved -- appears to be something added later. In the area of this "new" serial number the wood of the clarinet appears uneven (blotchy).

I can read the "G" of "England" on the bottom joint and the numbers 0194 on both top and bottom joints, but this is very faint (I used 25x magnification).

Anyone ever seen this?
