Tony, 123114 agrees with my listing as 1955.
I have seen quite a few B&H clarinets stenciled as Besson, Rudall etc and even no name (seconds?) but they almost invariably had "Made in England" stamped on them.
The numeric stamping of the serial number is invariably exactly the same pattern of figure as B&H used on own name models.
One definite check is the screws threads - the rod screws were 9BA and the spring screws 12BA. and the rod diameters were pretty unique to B&H and certainly not metric.
