Not quite enough detail on the register mechanism for me to be sure, but it's definitely not Malerne -- it looks very much like a Leblanc-Paris or Noblet mechanism, but there are no views showing the 'alleged' second bridge key and associated mechanism coming up from the lower joint, nor can I tell if the register vent on the neck is actually the second vent of a two-vent system, or the sole vent for a single-vent system.

I recall seeing this instrument on eVilBay and not bidding on it, partly because of my doubts about the mechanism design.

So....need more photos!
