Thank you for a long awaited reply. The Buffet in question has a serial
number of "51380" which by simple mathematics and the years unlisted seem to
place it's manufacture around 1952, so I still don't know whether it would
be identified as an R 13 or not.

Hi,

Robert Caree designed the Poly cylindrical concept around 1950 then Buffet
made what they called the No1 which was a pre R13 with this new bore design
and was pitched at 440. The R13 production using R13 name started in 1955. So
I can tell you with almost full insurance that your instrument is a Poly
cylindrical clarinet N01 which I would compare with the early R13.
I hope this help and that it's sound clear to you.

Musically Yours
