What is the concensus on this mandolin, item 250392833666, on ebay right now. Is this a genuine Gibson from the 30's? Appears to have a one piece back, and according to the description, label is missing.

Run, Forrest, Run........... as far away from this fake as you can............. unless you want a pretty good Loar like copy of the Gibson F5 for under $1000.
It's one thing when unknowing ordinary people pass these fakes off on ebay as the real deal but it's another when a legitimate music dealer does it. It's called Fraud in this case. A fool and their money shall soon be parted.
