Regarding the source for the reference to the 1930s, I took that from the Wikipedia article on Buffet Crampon, in the History section. Wikipedia articles are not necessarily reliable and anyway, in this case I probably misinterpreted the sentence. The article stated that lower grade instruments were (around the 1920s) made as Evette or Evette and Schaeffer, and then "during the 1930s BC began outsourcing Evette & Schaeffer instruments to other manufacturers". When I first read that, I took it to refer to lower grade instruments in general (the ones that had previously been labelled Evette and Schaeffer), but now on re-reading it, it seems clear that these instruments continued to be labelled Evette and Schaeffer, and would not have had the BC logo at all. My apologies!
I guess we don't really know everything that such companies did re outsourcing back then, but it does seem that Buffet and Crampon would have wanted their logo only on high quality instruments.
