>> The reason I said Rampone... <<

The other Rampone possibly only made saxophones, but Rampone only (as opposed to Rampone and Cazzani) generally means the other Rampone, or R&C from before they became R&C, which is around 1900.

>> ...it appears to be a more general fake. <<

Why a fake and not a stencil? R&C used make stencils and strangely enough even instruments with no name at all (I have one of the latter here right now).

>> But the smooth tenon rings are a puzzle: Buffet could easily have asked for grooved ones from any contractor. So presumably they wanted them smooth for some reason. My simple system is high pitch, so conceivably they wanted to make HP simple system instruments distinct from the rest of their range? <<

They could ask for anything, but if whoever made them was using smooth rings, it could be as simple as going with a stock spec to save costs.
