Man, that's pretty cool. Matched Bb/A sets are always worth a lot, almost no matter what.

The German system is a bit unusual in the United States, but I always thought it was neat. I'm not a fan of the rollers down low, but I suppose they have their uses.

It's been a while since I've been very engaged in the market pricing, but I would assume that a premium pair like this, in good playing condition, may fetch in the neighborhood of $1500-2000.

This does not strike me as German system, but wtfdik.
Reform Boehm?

[windydankoff]

It is the so-called "full Boehm" system - A true Boehm system with a variety of additional improvements. Relatively popular among professionals in Europe, less used in US.

I always figured that true Full Boehms didn't have the rollers down south?

[Goonny_Bedman]

The sexy rollers are an attempt to make the Boehm monstrosity look more Albert-like

Wiki says they are common on Reform Boehms (which are, essentially, full Boehms with "German" sound and rollers as far as I can tell).

Going by OP's handle, he's likely to be in Eastern Europe, where he might have some strong demand for these.

Both are correct assessments.  This is a full reform Boehm.

I recently bought a set of Leblanc LL full Boehms. I paid nearly $2500 for them. They, like yours, are in excellent condition.
