Identifying buffet crampon

Author: cds

I have what I believe to be a buffet crampon b12 clarinet, based on my research. I haven't been able to find anything to properly identify when it was made as the serial number searches seem to not be very good (unless I'm just using them wrong). Based on what I know it had to have been made before 1980 and I suspect it was sometime in the early/mid 70's. Can anybody identify when it might've been made with more certainty than I can?

The serial number is D34411, the label reads "Paris Evette France" in the center oval, "made by buffet crampon" below it, and below that is stamped "master model" which based on what I've been able to figure out, makes it a B12 model.

Any additional expertise would be great as this was my dad's before mine and I'd like to know more about it.
