A genuine Buffet (as well as the beginner and student level clarinets made for Buffet) won't have all that info laser etched on the back of the lower joint below the thumbrest or a serial number beginning with 01 - they only carry the serial number just above the tenons. And no R13 is made from brushed plastic - the only composites some R13s are made from are the Greenline ones and they have a shiny finish.

The only place you'll see R13 stamped on a genuine R13 is on the back of the barrel and the bell. Although not always as older R13s don't have the model number anywhere on them.

See attachment of a genuine Buffet serial number - the number font is specific to Buffet.
