Can anyone help me identify this clarinet? There are no markings on it that I can see other than the serial number 3254 in two places. It is a dark wood with a very slight reddish tint. The case formed uniquely in a very compact style that only divides the clarinet into two pieces. The octave key is also a bit different than with other clarinets I'm accustomed to. It's narrower I think as well but only slightly.

Clarinet isn't my main instrument so I'm not great to describe the tonal qualities, but it plays very easily for me - surprisingly so - which leads me to think that maybe this is a vintage professional model? That and the case latches are delicately elaborate with a locking mechanism.

If you need any details to help solve this mystery, let me know. I'll attach as many photos as possible to assist in this challenge.
