I don't know of any all-inclusive serial number list for Mirafone/Miraphone tubas. You might give them a shout directly at:

Good advice, Tinker Dan. I contacted Miraphone directly and got a reply in less than 19 hours. The person responding is at this e-mail address:
eva.staudinger@miraphone.de
My Miraphone 188 CC has a serial number 9020075, and Ms. Staudinger (a sales assistant) informed me that the instrument was manufactured in November 2002.

She figured out the year and model of my "unidentifiable" tuba but no one seems to know what it is.

Send a few pictures to my email address.... dschultz@sigecom.net ... I would like to see some close-ups of the bracing and the valve section... especially the valve caps and finger buttons. If the horn has harness loops or a lyre holder, the comfiguration of the backing plates might be interesting, too.tubatom91 wrote:a bunch I'll send them to anyone who wants to give it a shot I'll post one below

Is just the bell marked 'Mirafone/Miraphone'?... or does that appear on the body, too?
