It looks a lot like my 1927 Buffet A Clarinet. All the pictures look almost identical, with the exception of the first one (the logo). I can't really tell if that says Buffet or not. Also, I'm pretty sure that mine doesn't say "LP", though it does on the original barrel. I don't have my clarinet right next to me, so I can't be 100% sure about all the other pictures, but it does look very very similar. Does the clarinet have an articulated G#? Maybe it's even older than mine!

Articulated G# no. Crack yes but it's got glue, pins, an added ring, going to get oiled soon and I think it's been there quite a while so hopefully...

Scrub the logo with an old dampened toothbrush and you may be able to read it. Take it to a window and let the light shine on it diagonally, which will bring out the engraving.
It looks unlike any Buffet I've seen.

The H.Bettoney lower joint I've got has a more Buffet-style logo on it, so may be of a different era if this one is also an H.Bettoney.
Though the keywork (like this one) is very much like the older Buffets but with some distinct differences such as the RH F#/C# and E/B touches that are bent down at the tips like the LH levers.

Is the C# G" key spring loaded or use a flat spring?
