Attached are pics of #693. The good folks at Gruhn's (Christie and Walter in particular) recommended this as a great sounding example of Steve's work, and one that he spent considerable time banging on before deciding to part with. D-log back, flat fingerboard, gold-wire frets, short fern inlay, side-bound, and a great sounding mandolin for one so young.
It has been said many times before, but this mandolin is a clear example of why Gilchrist's are held in such high regard. The gold standard.
