ID old clarinet

Help!! I've recently dug out an old clarinet from my closet, and I'm confused regarding what brand it is.

I'd always assumed it was a Buffet, but in the top of the oval it says "Evette & Schaeffer' with Paris and France beneath it. On the bottom of the oval it says "Modele Buffet Crampon". The serial # is K37231.

This clarinet was bought in about 1980, and has been played a LOT, but has hardly been touched in the last 10 years (playing tenor sax has been much more lucrative for me). I found it difficult to play, probably lots of leaks, and the pads are badly discolored and have never been replaced. Should I have it over-hauled?

Thanks for your help,
Vince
