I too had an 850 mandolin bought from Elderly in the early 80's. I traded in a KM750 that I ordered from Saga new. The 850 with fern looked and played great. I've got a great Daley,Stanley, and Gibson MM today but I will always believe that 850 had the tone and cut that kept you in the jam. I have some old Elderly catalogues, if I can find them, so I can post their new 80's prices.
