This is a beautiful sounding mandolin. I believe it could be as old as the 1920s I’m not sure but it is in really nice condition. It does have some normal wear and a few dings and scratches here and there, the pick guard has little dent in it but I believe it’s made out of tortoise shell. It has one string missing, and a nice patina to it. I do not have the case. Please look at pictures.
