Holy cow! What a beaut!

Thanks

Be careful. The tuners changed in the 20's, and the earlier '20's mandolins have a different post spacing than later '20's. I'm afraid there is no exact date when they changed, so you will have to...

A beauty so far!! I'm 546, so here's hoping Tom has a speedy recovery. :)

Beautiful! Please keep us posted.
