@ fuzzy, o.t.: It's a German system Bb from about the 1880ties. I think it plays quite nicely, but haven't used or compared it extensively. It doesn't have the more recent F#/C# trill mechanism for L5. So it has one F/C-cup for RH5 only (red arrow), and the LH5 F#/C# cup lies 3 cm more downward from it. In comparison a German C-clarinet, also by C. Kruspe, ca. 1925, has this mechanism which includes an extra F#/C# trill cup on the right side above the C-Cup (green arrow). Here the LH5 F#/C# cup indeed lies across the F/C cup. Might it be that your Albert shows a similar mechanism? I've read about a "three in a row" layout on Alberts, but don't know them myself.
