Can anyone identify this Gibson A from the photo?

[ctolle]

I am looking at a Gibson A from a local seller. He doesn't know much about it, other than it's early 1900's and has the serial number, which is 63808. Can anyone help me to identify the model and year, and feel free to chime in on a fair price for purchase.

Thanks!

The year is 1920, Model A2.

Looks OK from the one photo; original case and even the original case handle. The pick-guard clamp looks to be missing though and you could search for years for one of those.

Indeed, the pick guard clamp can be hard to find, and that ties into another currently running thread, reinforcing the idea that a replica would have a stronger market than a good useable variation on the theme.
