As others said it is an Albert system clarinet.
The comments seem to be placed toward the ringless bell. Is it more prone to cracking or not? I say it's not. Many of oboe bells lack a ring. I don't think any of Buffet's oboes have a ring. The reason we have rings on our tennons is so that when the two pieces go into one another the wood dosn't swell and crack. The bell dosn't go into anything and therefore dosn't require a ring. It dosn't do anything for tonal perposes exept I noticed when I had a bell ring that was really loose it vibrated when i played low E. I do think it prevents chipping of the bottom of the bell if struck in that area.
