Actually, it's:

F.BUISSON.
PRAGUE
PARIS

I remember buying it for £30, because it was a bit scruffy, in Bill
Lewington's in London in the 70s.

I was served by rather a callow youth, and when I'd handed over the
money, I noticed that there was a sign that said, all our clarinets have
been overhauled and are in perfect working order.

So I pointed this out to the assistant, -- and he meekly acquiesced,
took it back, and I collected it a day or so later, in I don't know
about perfect but at any rate much better working order.

I don't know if Bill ever found out!
