Some pictures of the actual instrument would help in identifying it.
But I will say that some good life advice I've received about buying expensive things (instruments, cars, houses, etc.) is that you should never just buy the first one you come across. Alto clarinets are fairly common and while they are not dirt cheap like they were 10-20 years ago they are still fairly inexpensive. And contrary to popular belief you absolutely CAN find a good one. I picked up a fabulous 1972 Buffet alto with all the bells and whistles (fully automatic double register vent, left hand Ab/Eb, 2 piece wood body, overhaul with Pisoni pads within the last 2 years) for only $900! I wouldn't take a risk on an instrument of unknown origin personally, you will be much better off buying something like a Noblet, even if you have to buy online.
