2001 flatiron f5 #festival signed under the top

[bhaltom]

I have a 2001 Flatiron F5 Festival and I can not tell who signed it as it is a signature and upside down because of a mirror. #Anyone know who might have signed it, and the history behind the guy who signed it. It also has a Date next to the sign. #2001

serial number: 10219020

Thanks

it probably Sim. Will Parsons had a few flatirons from that era in his shop and they were signed underneath the top plate by Daley.

evidently a few luthiers do this, i know Will said he had signed or written things in some of his instruments
