Dick Staber's (Del McCoury's mandolin player in the early '70s) should be one of those 1938s. I played it decades ago, but remember that I really enjoyed it.

The tuners are gold-plated but it looks like the tailpieces are not. Is that just because the gold has worn off, or maybe because the tailpieces have been replaced?
Could an F5 from that time have originally come with gold-plated tuners along with a nickel-plated tailpiece?
"Few noises are so disagreeable as the sound of the picking of a mandolin."
The round end tuners from the 30's are solid brass, not gold plated.
