Today's question is: Where are the serial numbers located on a Boosey&Hawkes "Imperial" model tuba? I would estimate this horn as being about 50-60 years old, however I cannot confirm this as I cannot find the number on the horn. Any ideas? Thanks for the anticipated help!

the one our brass band owned had the serial number next to the bell brace on the top branch.

Mine has two - one on the bell near the top branch, and the other on the second valve casing.
*Edit: The bell and main body have a ~30 year difference in production, which I think is why there are two.

Mine is on the back of the bell, about 3 inches above the top brace
