ebonite, great info! I was just speaking Brian Charles, owner of Charles Double Reeds in New Hampshire here in the US and I asked him about my Leblanc. I told him how I had roughly estimated the horn to be from 1945. He told me that in that era, a lot of times an instrument's body would be produced and then it would sit around for a few years before any keywork was added. Once it was ready for sale, that is when the serial number would be stamped. So in this sense it's really impossible to assign a date of manufacture, as it could have been assembled over a long period of time.
For me, the question would be, okay, I get that, but what year was the serial number added?
