aaaww thanks!! any chance of buying one of those old mandolins off you, to try to restore it myself?
Unfortunately one is an Asian thing-or at least I am certain it is,it is a Banjolin,the strings which are on it play ok-al three of them, though,rusty tailpiece and geared tuners going a tad rusty.
I would put it on ebay,but I really do not think it is worth much at all to be honest,send me a pm if you're interested
