    Would anyone have any information on this model? There are no numbers to be found on it.

    Probably late 60's, If the neck joint is tight be thankful.

    It's a K450 "Student Model Mandolin" (the catalog's description, not my own commentary), built 1966-8.

    I have one exactly like it. It looks great hanging on the wall, unfortunately, it's unplayable.
