Thank you very much for you're thoughtful to reply. I shall like to
paraphrase this with other replies at some point.

As also you should know that a curator of a woodwind museum in France has
informed me that Georges Leblanc has passed away last thursday. So that
possibly the only person who MIGHT have been able to comment on it is gone.

If indeed there might have been some other manufactuerer akin to Noblet or
an unconnected maker which made this Albert it may surface before or after
the auction In any case I intend to find out because I love a good bit of
data unfolding and think it is nice that in some way we are musicians on
the net using this device to compile and log all thisl lost information.

There is the link the museum.
