Unfortunately it appears to be a fake made by Rampone. Some things that are a giveaway:

1) While Buffet did make hard rubber clarinets in the 30s, the tenons were always metal capped

2) All Buffet clarinets have somewhat decorative socket rings, not these plain style rings.

3) Below the logo there should be the text "Made in France"

I once had a pair of these fake Buffet clarinets, one Eb and one Ab. They were stamped "Systema Buffet Crampon" with a very Buffet looking logo. Fortunately the company has wised up in the last hundred years and is making saxophones under their own brand.
