Five-string versions of the Style A are relatively rare, and they routinely sell for well over $3.5k. This one has some anomalies, and I don't know if some were stock or alterations, hence my lower price. The inlay and binding on the fingerboard are not the same as I've seen on the Style A, which raises the question of whether the original fingerboard was replaced. If so, it was done by a professional. The neck angle apparently needed adjustment; the hardware at the end of the stick was added later.  The neck joint is not shimmed.  The tuners are not original. Everything else looks factory, including the highly sought-after tailpiece. The serial numbers on the stick and pot match.  I haven't researched the date.  I haven't taken this banjo out of the closet for a few months, but I think I used the armrest on another banjo.  I'll amend this ad when I have a chance to take a look.

The resonator has a couple of hairline splits.  Repairing them wouldn't be imperative, but it would be easy enough to shoot them some glue.  It wouldn't affect the sound at all, glued or not. The small holes you see in the pot are for installing the ring that is part of the resonator mount. Also included is the hardshell case, which also looks original.

Sounds fine and plays well as-is, though it could use a slightly higher bridge.  I added a little cradle to elevate the fifth string, so the pip also needs to be raised a tad. 

The pictures are high-resolution, so zoom in for detail. I'll be happy to take a close-up of anything you want to see more clearly.
