Re: Lower joint with no serial number

Maybe it had a lower joint transplant for whatever reason (damaged socket or similar) and the one supplied was new if it was still under guarantee, but wasn't stamped with the serial number.

I've seen transplants done where they were stamped with the serial number to match the one it replaced, but I think that's only done when a serial number has been supplied when the joint was ordered directly from Buffet themselves rather than if it was bought from another supplier of Buffet parts. I've even seen a top joint transplant done on an '80s R13 which was done at the B&H factory as it had a B&H style serial number stamped above the speaker tube as B&H did on their own clarinets.
