Recently acquired what I believe is a 1897 BUFFET CRAMPON MASTER MODEL EVETTE & SCHAEFFER, PARIS FRANCE Serial 9594
Any suggestions what I should do next
Thank you
From a serial chart on the site here, it's from 1960: http://www.woodwindforum.com/clarinetperfection/buffet-evette-schaeffer/
The Kxxx you were looking at is only for Buffet-Crampon pro models from much older than this one, and they would only have 1 to 3 digits after the letter, not 4.
You still have a rather nice clarinet, though!
As for what to do next: what do you want to do with it? Play it or sell it? For the former, take it to a repairperson to get it fixed, for the latter, it's probably better to sell it as is.
