My guess. I bet a retop. From what another poster says. His guess the mid 20s on repair. The case fits the time line. That mandolin has seen better days. Its had a rough life.

Cool info.
Not sure of what the price is. Cant see that. But just being a Loar , you got to be rich to buy Rich. The only folks able to obtain such a item are of Status .
I would be all over that one for a few reasons. I would be looking inside the top for a signature as well . Pretty cool piece .
That would make sense now Im seeing what you are seeing.
Thats a cool looking F4
The serial numbers not to far off from mine.
kind of looks like someone slipped there finger off the fingerboard and caught there nail on the edge,, chipping the finish,,.
Nice looking mandolin. Someday I will get one.
I wasnt talking about Rickker. I was refering to the nephew
I know if I had my neighbour looking after my house while I was on holidays. I would sure hope he wasnt going through my collection looking for values of each guitar and mandolin . Those are my ...
The way your asking about this info. Makes me wonder . Your Nephew probably already knows what it is , year and value .
Sometimes its not all about the high grade of wood. But the feel and tone. . Givens build a fine Mandolin and Acoustic guitar
whats the hourly rate? 50 ish a hour plus materials. thats not to bad..
That looks like the wood moved and the clear did not.. how do you apply your clear? in stages or ?
btw,, Nitro has a shelf life..
Thank you.
Thank you . Ive been looking at one for a while now. I thought it would be time to ask you folks about these. Much appreciated.
What can you tell me about Girouard A style mandolins?
Thank you .
Individuals listing on Ebay from all over the U.S on shipping on items of the same Are all over the map. I think most feel the can charge a extra huge amount for there time to box a mandolin or...
This mandolin is in the classifieds and in quebec . No photo to know if it has all its parts or not now though .
If Im not mistakin 1992 was the final year for Brazilian Rosewood. And hopefully the paperwork is in order to prove the year of manufacture . Anything after that years is a issue .
I can see...
So would make it a Epiphone copied Gibson Loar recreation? Played by delusioned stars? :p. What some people will do.
just thought it was interesting.. :)
I bet , probably the best place to reuse those.. better than destroying those..
