Oh my. They hand painted the logo and the inlay and not well. For posterity. I adjusted the contrast a bit to make the headstock more legible.

Fylde Touchstone Walnut Mandolin.
Gibson Alrite Model D.

Alan, That fret is so far in front of the nut that it should be called a "1/4 fret"...
LET THE BUYER BEWARE....

That was my first mandolin...not that exact one, but an identical one without the "Gibson-izing" treatment. It's made in Romania. As I recall I paid $39 for it. Still have it after all these years.
Yep has the classic Hora pickguard. Maybe Hora is the Gibson of Romania.
it's a slothead.

I do love the split diamond inlay which I don’t think Gibson ever used on mandolins.
