you woulden't happen to know where that might be located on the insturment would you?
Take a peek at the valve casings or the back of the bell near where it attaches to the top bow. I've also seen one Besson with the SN on the mouthpiece receiver.

I had the opportunity to play on a St. Pete for about a semester during HS before a new band director traded it for a 3/4 jupiter (couldn't figure that one out) and I really liked the tone quality of it, however we did have a lot of trouble with the valves. I didn't have too much trouble with it getting banged up but I was also given strict instructions to treat it like china and followed those instructions as best as I could.
