Re: For collectors of old Buffets

Further on this, I looked at the catalogue of the Shackleton collection (see http://www.euchmi.ed.ac.uk/ucis.html). I can see three Buffets close in time to 1930. Two of them are simple+Barrett instruments (catalogue nos 5362 and 5509), and they too have smooth tenon rings. There is also a pair of Boehm instruments (catalogue no. 4781), which have standard grooved tenon rings. But these instruments are not marked "made in France" (or at least, the catalogue doesn't mention this, and they are normally scrupulous about copying all markings - and the logos don't seem to be worn). So now I'm doubting whether there is any strong evidence against the simple idea that instruments with the Buffet logo were made in Paris by Buffet - just with design variations whose rationale is lost in the mists of time.
