If you want to sell your mandolin, put it in the Classifieds. No selling instruments on the discussion board.

Hi, I see this thread is very old, but I was wondering about the Owsley that I have, I was told that it is the first scroll top top made by Jim Owsley, its labeled with a hand typed label SN 0022, just wondering anyone has any history on something so unique? My friend played it for many years and has since given it to me, and I want to make an offer to him, so Im just trying to seek appraisal, I guess. Do you have any suggestions? Im attaching a photo of the label, Jim Owsley, Hayes Virginia Ser. 0022 1975. What I was told is he thought the scroll was copyright protected by Gibson. I play it all the time, its priceless to me, I just want to offer something for it.
I own #0005 (1963). I bought it from Jimmy at his shop in Gloucester in 1977. A friend of mine bought one of his F around the same time. Years later he was having some neck work done on it and the luthier found a made in Korea stamp somewhere in the neck joint. He was slick enough to buy Asian imports and modify them to his specs.
