I bought this off a guy from craigslist pretty cheaply. I've been wanting a vintage mandolin for awhile. I know very little of mandolins. (Im a guitar player by default)
After reading over this forum last night, I did read that Regal's are not serialized and do not have a dating system. I am super curious as to when this particular one was made. Thought maybe someone could give me a good estimate on which decade this was made in or maybe even narrow it down close to the actual year. It's pretty rough, but I have a friend who is a luthier that is going to restore it for me. I cleaned up the neck/fretboard which I thought was very cool, since it was entirely pearl inlay'd.
