 Hi. please can anyone confirm if this is a Buffet R13. The serial number is F70441 which apparently makes it 1962...the only markings are the serial number on upper and lower pieces and the Buffet logo and made in France.  
 
I have owned it for about 16 years but not played only started playing again recently. It plays beautifully and has had a recent service although the keys are quite tarnished. The wood looks in excellent condition although I am not an expert!  
 
Does anyone have any idea of the value of this? 
 
thanks!

 Looks like an R13 to me - I've got a full Boehm one from the same year also with the extra "Dallas" info in the bell.

 Yep, I have F738xx with the Dallas London info on the bell and it's a 1962 R13. I love it! I have no idea what it's worth as I don't want to sell it. Enjoy!!!
