Eric Petterson clarinet

I just came across an old posting from someone who claimed that "there are no Swedish made clarinets". This is false information since there used to be a small factory in Stockholm by the name of "AB Eric Petterson". The factory started in the 1920th and continued until the 1960th. After the death of Eric Petterson his business lived on for a few more decades as a retailer for woodwind instruments.

Eric Petterson was a clarinettist in the Stockholm Philharmonic for almost 40 years. His concept was a Boehm clarinet with a German bore. He also made mouthpieces with the name "Conbrio", French with a German approach.
His instruments were of a high professional standard but handmade in a very small number. Only a few instruments are still around and occationally you can find them in auctions.

Are these instruments known at all outside Scandinavia?
