I will describe it best as i see it. Buffet crampon a paris, Its an older one. Seems to have silver or nickel playet keys. Its wooden, has a logo with faint gold on it. Its made in france. Plastic mouth peice, purple suede inside the carry case. And most importan is the serial number - 330451 . Theres no other markings to tell me what model it is. And help would be greatlt appreciated. Thanks

Most likely an R13 if it has just the Buffet logo and says 'Made in France' below it and no other markings on the top joint above the throat A key.
Most Buffets will have a model name/number on the top joint below the Buffet logo (eg. E13, C12, RC, S1, Vintage, etc.), but a lot of older ones didn't.

Also check the undersides of the RH pinky keys (F#/C# and E/B touchpieces) as there should be recesses cut or milled out in the wood immediately beneath them.

My old pre-R13 also has those recesses cut out, so I don't think that necessarily means it's an R13. (The serial number of Jaxon's clarinet is definitely high enough to be an R13, though.)

As I said in my first reply, a lot of older ones didn't have any model designation on them.
