>It appears that someone played it for at least 10 years.
From the serial number I would estimate very (!) roughly that the clarinet is from around 2008/2009. (The "new" BC1108 is from this year, 2020.)
I can play my own RC Prestiges BC1107 and BC1207 easily around 443 Hz (or sharper). Much lower would be difficult for me. I guess, I would need a barrel 2 mm longer, and a mouthpiece designed for a=440 (as the 13-series of Vandoren). And even then I don't know. But I never tried. If you have no problems, then it is fine. The RC Prestige is a good instrument, in general.
