Its well made and i dont think its a fake, but of course i could be wrong. its got some chips at some of the joints, and a crack in the bell from retaining pins. Im about 95% sure its an 'S' and not a 5 because the stylings of the letter are distinct. Yes, eight, five, nine, the letter 'S', number 1. The only other marking besides the logo on the three pieces is a serial number on the bottom of the lower joint. These three pieces all have the Buffet, Crampon & Ci logo, with Made in France stenciled below it. (The barrel and mouthpiece are generic plastic replacements.) Only three parts of this clarinet are stamped buffet, the bell, the lower, and upper joints. I havent seen any other buffet clarinets with this feature. but the most puzzling thing (for me) about this clarinet is that there is a metal barrel ring at the top of the upper joint. Full disclosure, I'm an online ebay seller of all sorts of wares, and i've come across a wooden buffet clarinet.
