Trying to date Leblanc bass clarinet

Author: Jaysne

I have an old Leblanc bass clarinet (low Eb). The serial number is 4009. It's stamped "G. Leblanc Paris France". The bottom of the neck is stamped "44".

I'm trying to figure out when this horn was made. I've found several websites with Leblanc serial numbers and they only go back to 1964. Based on my serial number, the horn was made sometime before that.

I emailed the Conn-Selmer folks in Europe and they said that Leblanc clarinets haven’t been manufactured in France for many years and they don’t have serial number records from that factory.

So, anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks.
