LaFleur was a label used by Boosey and Hawkes. Yours has the articulated C# key. It doesn't appear to have the alternate Eb/Ab key, so I'd hesitate to call it a full-Boehm. The LaFleur was pretty well equivalent to the B & H Edgware, Emperor or Imperial. Generally very well made, quality keywork and very good wood. They share the tuning issues of B & H instruments but are quite good. Those B & H instruments were good professional instruments in their day.
