Thank you all so much for your help. I now feel much better about the instrument I'm question being a genuine E11. I will definitely check the serial numbers when I look at it, and I have found a professional saxophone player (a friend) who has agreed to meet with me to look at/play it. He said he will bring his clarinet mouthpiece, so he does have some clarinet experience.
Also, thank you to all who cautioned against getting an instrument without her playing it, her instructor approving it, or it being a professional grade instrument. Unfortunately, if an intermediate level instrument isn't good enough, I will have to cross that bridge further down the road. As much as I would love to get her a nicer instrument, finances simply won't allow it. The good news is that I have spoken with am older student who is in the same program, and she has assured me that it will suffice. She is playing an intermediate level Yamaha, and said the clarinet professor has not asked her to step up, but did require that she get a better mouthpiece. She said he does require that students majoring in performance use higher quality instruments.
