There have been a lot of Buffet Evettes, Evette Buffet models, Buffet Evette models (just to make it extra-confusing!) and such over the years, beginning very early in the 20th century. The companies (Buffet, Evette-Schaeffer and combinations of those names) have been connected for about a hundred years. Eventually, Buffet owned the Evette name outright, and began using it only on student and intermediate models for a number of years, butome of the earliest Evette models are pro clarinets. Some of the later ones (1940s +) are good intermediates sold as moderately priced pro models. I haven't got them anywhere near sorted out, but I think that without some more information about this particular clarinet, such as exactly what it says on there, with all the numbers, it would be very hard for someone to answer this question.
