An ebay seller has a Buffet R-13 with the above serial number listed. The description says it dates from the 1890's to the early 1900's. My check of the serial number list on our fine website suggests otherwise--more like the early to mid 1960's. Am I reading things correctly?
Thanks!

R-13s only started being produced around 1954-55

Yes. The leading F means A=442 tuning except for F1-F999, which were made around 1891.

You’re right this is modern clarinet from mid 60’s and it’s not R-13. The Continentale was different design/model. I think, it’s similar to BC 20 professional series. The equivalent would be the recent Buffet Crampon RC clarinet.....V

The F before the serial number means that the clarinet is tuned to 442/444 Hz. Without F it is tuned to 440 Hz......V
