You can look at the keywork and see if the instruemtn is an actual Evette and
Schaeffer or an R-13 with the Evette Schaeffer name. It is my understanding
that Buffet sometimes took R-13's that might have had a few flaws (I am know
cosmetic flaws were one criteria, there might have been others) in them and
called them Evetter Schaeffers. Check the sliver keys and compare them with
a Buffet R-13. If they look exactly like the Buffet, it could be a Buffet
with the Evette Schaeffer name.
