Re: buffet b12 clarinet

i am guessing it is a clarinet manufactured in 1983 going off all i can find serial number wise the only other ones i found starting with 24 were made in 1938 and this would be ruled out with the made in W. Germany stamp. so with the age basically determined i just need to find out how to tell if it is actually a B12 or a different student model, it looks like it is made from ABS BUT, i have seen laquered wood clarinets and flutes that look like plastic.

sadly all references i can find are for current models and according to current models a B12 and E13 have adjustable thumb rests, while an E11 has a fixed thumb rest and this one has a fixed thumb rest.

also had a "silver test" ( type done to test silver jewelry) done on the keys and the test came back as positive ("about 50% silver" which is a quote of what i was told), so i am having a difficult time positively identifying the instrument for age and model number but as previously stated i have pretty much figured it is a 1983 clarinet but model is eluding me.
