Very nice Gibson MB Mandolin Banjo with original case.   I'm not sure what year this is as it does not have a serial number or label inside the instrument.  I beleive it's a 1920s or 30s instrument but it could even be from the 40s.   It does have a number 504 stamped on the edge of the headstock (see picture) but I can't find anything about that number.   I just got this instrument back from my Luthier and he reset the neck, replaced the head and replaced the non correct bridge with a new correct one (he makes these by hand).  This instrument is now in great condition and plays fantastically.  It's ready to go and needs someone to play it.  International buyers please contact me for a shipping quote.  Thanks for looking.Product SpecsCondition:Make:Model:Finish:Categories:, Year:Made In:United States
