Other points to look for are:
The nib (it should be 33 or something. 52 nibs are very uncommon)
Does it have the price under the Sheaffer's/Made in (should be 330 for $3.30, from memory)
The cadets are, according to PenHero, meant to have a screw in nib.
Oh and then to throw a spanner in the works, they also did a similar looking pen in lever fill.
I know there are/used to be Aus collectors here like HughC who should be able to give you more info.
Sorry I can't be more help, it's nearly 10 years since I last chased Sheaffers.
BTW, have you looked on FPN for info?
