It doesn't have a LH Eb or low B key either, and LH 3 fingerhole isn't a double hole (like those for RH 3 and 4 on recorders).

It looks like it's been copied from the oboes from the mid 1800s (before the Barret action for Bb and C was introduced, and well before the thumbplate and the later Conservatoire system that we know today), but with less keywork- only having one 8ve key, and no low B or LH Eb key. Though I'm sure the maker can fit these if you want (without too much trouble) - the Eb and low B lever keys are mounted between the same pair of pillars on the bottom joint (with a lug soldered to the Eb key cup to engage with the Eb lever), and the bell key is mounted on a saddle on the bell and the pad covers the bell vent hole for the low B. And a 2nd 8ve key can also be added, and even a C-D trill key (mounted on the same set of pillars as the 2nd 8ve key) without any alterations to the existing keywork.
