    Default What do you think of this??

    I contacted the seller that he did not have a 1924 A-4 but haven't heard back.

    It's not 1924, that is correct.

    Neither is it worth $4000 - it wouldn't even make that much in the UK!

    It does have a pineapple tailpiece, lyre label, SN 9657 (I think) so it is around 1910?

    Looks like he is also very impressed with the case looking at how many pic's there are of it.

    Thanks Jim for the date, I was thinking early teens.

    That is correct. You certainly won't find another 1924 A4 that looks exactly like a 1910 A1.

    Looks like the listing ended, hope it was taken down and no one bought it.

    Must be what makes the price so high? Something to be said for complete uniqueness like that. Never happen again unless its on Craigslist.
