Can you identify this clarinet?

I have bought a rather old Bb. It is wooden and the inscription (sorry about the poor quality of the photos) is worn. I can just make out SUPERIEURE in the scroll.

Below that is an ovoid, similar to the Buffet mark, and appears to contain Z BAJUL within it though other letters are not distinguishable.

Below the ovoid is a star. I hope someone knows the make.

Needs better pics than this. Can you try again, perhaps lighting it from the side?

Forgot to mention the third photo shows there is only one pillar for the E/B and F#/C# LH levers.

In the second picture I read (with a little help from Photoshop):
"Q? SUPÉRIEURE... Z.BAJUS... ...LECOMTE (...)".
