Mystery A Clarinet

Author: dporter1624

I bought what was represented to be an old Selmer Bb clarinet (30's L??) and it turned out not to be either a Bb or a Selmer.

The markings are an A over LP on both joints. These appear to be hand scribed. The upper joint is marked in the typical space but on the bottom joint the marking is off to the right side. There are no serial numbers. It is wood (very tight grain) and the bell is marked "France" near the upper metal band. The keywork is similar to an old Selmer and has 7 rings. The case is of the style one would expect from a 60-80 year old instrument.

Anyone recognize this marking? A over LP? I am assuming the A represents the key. I would really like to know what I am now the proud owner of!

Thanks
