Buffet RC circa 1990's question

Hi,
I am a very average orchestral player and I have been looking to change my old Buffet E13's for quite a while.
I have tried new R13's and Yamaha's but came away from the dealer thinking that I wasn't gaining much, I then tried a pair of RC clarinets and rather liked them, I didn't buy them because one of the pair wasn't in great condition for the price.
Recently I have found another pair, they are not an official pair, one of them dates from 1990(Bb) the other from 1993. The seller doesn't know if they are nickel or silver plated but thinks the Bb is silver. I can't test them easily without doing a sale or return which he is being difficult about.
My question is, are these instruments from a good period in clarinet manufacture or should I avoid them?

Thanks,
Mark
