Vic,

The lower joint matches my R13 as well, 25.6*cm* (yours appear to be very short... :-P). The upper joint, however, definitely appears to be longer, 23.9cm vs 22.3cm, end to end. And the spacing on the holes starting at the 3rd left finger on up matches my A. End to end comparisons with that are not meaningful since it's a full Boehm and has the hole through the tenon.

Oh well, anyone have an old upper joint from a circa 1921 Buffet Bb they aren't using? Umm, or a lower joint of a Buffet A?
