 dating an older Buffet

I have an old Buffet A clarinet with a swan's neck register key. The serial number looks like 4L342 (it could be 1L342). Any information on its age would be appreciated. It looks like the same model A clarinet played by Jimmy Giuffre on some of his recordings.
Thanks in advance.

Jim

s/n 1L11 to 1L521 were made in 1917.

I had a 911H1, manufactured in 1913, with swan neck register and doughnut key.
