Rare ebony (?)  flute from the Paris workshop of Buffet-Crampon, all original.
 
Our guess is that it was made between 1860 and 1880.
Sounding length, head pushed in, all the way : 543 mm.
Embouchure is original,  9.2 mm X 10.9 mm.
Five keys, original.
Ancient crack to the head-socket  now repaired by three carbon-filament threads, solid and permanent. 
The instrument plays well at 438, with the head pushed fully in.  
The instrument is in original condition, has not been altered or cut shorter.
 
**** SOLD WITH CASE,  original (?).
 
The flute is part of a small collection of French instruments that I've acquired  over the years, which means I may offer to sell a few more in the upcoming months.
