Don -

The original Selmer Omegas were deluxe CT models made in the mid-1950s. They were made of specially selected, very dense grenadilla. You can recognize them by the vine leaf carving on the bell and the bottom of the lower joint and by a special register key with separate holes for the register vent and throat Bb, shown at http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Equipment/SK.jpg.

Selmer later put out an Omega made in the U.S., which was an intermediate model. It had, I believe, some carving on the bell that didn't go up to the lower joint and a standard register key.
