I saw several Royal Artists made for Bruno like this one linked, apparently by Lange. It looks very similar to Paramount style B, except for some details. Can someone confirm it's a kind of clone of Paramount, with same tone ring ? By the way do they have the same value ?

From the dide view, I'd say that it's a different tone ring, although it would be necessary to see a better photo, and/or a photo of the inside to know for sure. Also, to me, the slated prtion of this Bruno "archtop" looks too wide.
I have seen photos of the insides of some Brunos, although I can't recall if theye were "Royal Artists." In every case, the ring was a simplified version of the Farmer design, with the tube suspended on a few brackets mounted under the bolt heads holding the shoes.
I would guess that a Bruno banjo, even if it did have a true Paramount tone ring would be of less value if only because it lacks the Paramount name and the Paramount cache.

I agree with George that the tone ring is most likely suspended like the other Bruno's I've seen. That seems like a good price and would probably make a great Irish tenor. Let me know if you buy it.
