I'll have a guess and say it may be a Malerne as they made 'Lafleur' instruments for B&H - I've seen various Malerne woodwinds (mainly clarinets, oboes and cors anglais) with a multitude of names for the UK market, but were all from the same make.

If you could post some photos (detailed ones of the keywork, especially the bottom joint RH little ginger cluster) then we could tell you for sure.

One of my work colleagues has an old Malerne bass, so I can compare them.

But some Lafleur instruments were made by Amati, B&S, Orsi and even flutes from one of the Taiwanese factories as well. I think some other Lafleur flutes were possibly made by Rampone&Cazzani.
