I also have a Stahl by Larson Brothers Brazilian Rosewood Flatback Mandolin. I've had this one for awhile but the A. Stathopoulo Bouzouki I recently acquired.
Anyone know a tentative value for the Stahl Mandolin? and any other helpful information.

And how much repairs might cost.

It is very hard to estimate repair costs without having it in hand. It also depends on whether you just want to make it playable or restore it completely. For instance, you might want to replace that piece of pearl on the border but maybe not replace all the cracked pickguard celluloid since that would be quite a job. You might want to find out whether you can just seal it so pieces don't break off. Then again, if it is celluloid, maybe you should replace but those inlays would also have to be replaced.

As far as value: do you want to sell it?

I have 2 Stahl mandolins. One was originally purchased by my Aunt. Love the sound.
