I have come across an older Buffet clarinet and I was wondering if you guys could help me determine if it is an R13 or something else. The serial # is 177693. There are no other badges or marks on the horn other than the Buffet logo and from what I've been able to find, this most likely means that it's an R13.
Here are some pictures. I've done instrument repair for 4-5 years, so I'm in the midst of a repad.

No pics. Does it have a cut-out in the wood under the r/h pinky keys?

Is is most liikely an R13, dating to around the mid-1970s.

A 1975 Buffet that was used by Mitchell Lurie recently sold at the auction site for about $1150.
