That'd be the Leblanc Opus or Opus II which are Leblanc's top models - but for $500 the LL is definitely worth it, and I prefer the keywork on the LL to the current Leblancs (top models included) - the top joint side keys are set above the bore centre line so there's less chance of condensation getting into the toneholes.

The other aspect of the LL series (from the initials Leon Leblanc) is that it probably had the most extensive lineup of pitches of any make or series - from the standard orchestral set of A and Bb with all the various key systems (17/6 - 20/6), and also clarinets pitched in C, D, Eb and also the sopranino in Ab - the smallest clarinet that only a few makers offer.

What condition is it in?
