A few months ago I made a post about my mandolin that was sold to me as a 1934 A4. Now that I know it's a 1933 A-50 (FON 712), I'm wondering if anybody knows anything else about the first batch of A-50s with the oval sound hole and elevated finger board. Mine sounds amazing, very balanced and loud with a surprisingly good chop.
How many were made?
What are they worth?
Were they designed to replace the A-4?
Thank you very much!
