Serial numbers Boosey and Hawkes

Hi,

I have a Boosey and Hawkes Edgware clarinet that I bought years ago from a reputable (I thought) dealer. I haven't played it for a long time and so I put it on Ebay with a really low starting bid of £35 (they seem to be on for over £200 for refurbished Buy It Now deals).

I have had an enquiry about the serial numbers, but there is only an engraved number on the top middle section. That number is 458313 which makes it a 1976 model.

Can anyone tell me if I should expect both sections to have a number and if so how come the whole clarinet looks so exactly as if it belongs together.

I"m going to exam it tomorrow to see if I can see any more clearly in the daylight. But I would welcome any information from you experts.

Many thanks

Kathy
