I have Slovenian/Austrian diatonic accordion, known most commonly by the Austrian term Steirishe harmonika. It's missing it's treble grill...that's why you can see the valves. It's also missing the maker's nameplate. According to Wayan Golob believes it's a Franz Lubas crration by looking at the key board. He was the inventor of this type of accordion, and the largest manufacturer, having factories in several towns in Slovenia and Austria. Probably made in the 1920s.The accordion has a clean inside, and it has it's original Dix reeds. And aha! Donny Krance worked on the original restoration one of the most respected accordion techs around. He repaired accordions from all over the country and that's a ringing endorsement of the quality of craftsmanship
