Hi, I have a buffet clarinet with no model on it.
1. I'm pretty sure it's made of wood (clearly visible grain)
2. Near the thumb rest, it says 930366 and made in Germany.
3. There is NO logo or ANYTHING on the bell or the other small piece (I don't know much about clarinets).
Here's a picture of it: http://i.imgur.com/kIZ0Z.jpg

How can you tell?
I also am confused why there is no logo or anything on the bell or other piece.

1. Made in Germany
2. The key work looks like an E11 (lower joint B fork key - straight, not curved like an R13 ; Top joint bridge key - an R13 has wings, several other characteristic differences.
3. Silver plating
4. Logos on E11's are painted on and quickly wear off ; if you are buying a used one and the logos are not worn, its one indication of little use.
5. Serial number is consistent with E11's.
And I've seen hundreds of them - that is an E11...

That is also the case that E-11s came in for YEARS...if you've ever owned or seen an E-11, you recognize that case instantly.
Also, the E-11 was never made with the Buffet logo on the lower joint, and as Paul said, the logos on the barrel, upper joint and bell wear away practically immediately if you play it at all.
You definitely have an E-11.
