New Flatiron under $800?

[Paul Statman]

Does this look right to you? There's a Flatiron Festival with a full set of binding, a pick-guard, and all with a price-tag of $800? Where would these be made?

Here (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41905&highlight=flatiron) is a recent discussion about these mandolins. There is a link to an older discussion in the same thread. I've never seen one with a made in Vietnam label. That may or may not be a new development. The last I saw were made in China.
