So an auction I was watching ended, and I wasn't a bidder as I was in a wind quintet's concert listening to them.

My thoughts are that this Buffet is from the 1850s, but I'm not fully convinced I'm right. It has what I understand was the Buffet logo from before he added his wife's name Crampon to it, and looks to be a bit too advanced for the time period-it has rollers and 4 rings, which I'm fairly sure had only been around for a few years at the time, and I'm not too sure any clarinets had rings on the UJ yet at this point in time. It also looks a bit too modern in the barrel/joint end rings and such, although I know some mid-19th century Buffets had rings on the ends of all female tenons, but those had the modern logo on them.
Anyone here have anything that proves or disproves its legitimacy?
It's certainly possible that it could be a fake...
