They're losing heart. I can still see plenty of wood.
What IS that finish that is put on the backs of these mandolins? It makes all their instruments look like polystyrene. BTW How are you going to out-bling Sicilian mandolins? A Quixotic task.

Yeah, that's pretty restrained, considering the source. There are some vintage instruments that out-bling that.
A strange one for sure - looks more like a German GDR-period mando rather than an Italian one as well (I'm going by the pickgard design and inlay) - it would be interesting to hear from David if he remembers that one!
