Second post in five minutes
I'm looking for a full boehm Leblanc A Clarinet. Did Leblanc ever produce any?

Yes they did. They are hard to find. The Leblanc LL A came in full boehm (and other models). best just to keep your eye on that auction site that can't be named.
several years ago i nearly won an auction for a LL A FB .. . went to some gentleman in the UK though who I knew indirectly. bummer

And years ago (1993 to be precise) a pair of full Boehm LLs went for around £800 at Christies - only I didn't have the money to bid on them.

You're more likely to find a full Boehm Selmer Series 9 A than a Leblanc LL, but don't stop looking. I saw a full Boehm Series 9 A listed recently on e**y (or *Ba*).
I bought my 1962 Series 9 full Boehm A by accident as it was listed as a Bb (only when I unpacked it I realised it was an A), but I thought with the rarity of a full Boehm A I'd keep it instead of sending it back and look out for a full Boehm Series 9 Bb to go with it (and later on I ended up with two full Boehm Series 9 Bbs - the first one I restored and play regularly).

Yes, I also have full Boehm Buffet Bb and A clarinets, one piece, made respectively in 1912 and 1921. Both are fine instruments. They were used by a clarinet player named Tarentola who played in the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. I bought the pair in 1951 from his widow. Although they have been used some, they are in excellent condition and tuning. Mostly, I use recent R13s, however, as they are easier to tote around, and I also like them.
