Robert Malerne Paris Oboe Grenadilla Wood Silver Plated Keys.
I'm a clarinet player, former band director, with a tiny bit of oboe playing ability (about the level of 1 year experience). This oboe played fine for me whenever I tried it with no noticeable issues. The last photo show a small hairline crack that does not seem to be present on the inside of the instrument. The original owner told me it was used for less than a year and never opened after that. From the looks of the labeling, the original R. Malerne case, and condition of the cork, it looks barely used.
Below is some info about this oboe that I found on the internet. Please check photos to be sure:
Oboe by R. Malerne, Paris. Malerne manufactured all kinds of instruments up to 1965, after which the factory specialized itself in clarinets and oboes for the professional market. Malerne was acquired by the world-famous Marigaux in 1971, but oboes with the Malerne name were manufactured for a few years still.
