And from a few Maurers. It seems like the mid-line and fancier had these collars and the others none.

rcc56, my bowlback does have a scripty, florid label.
I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of Scot's bowlback mandolin, including one of the label. And a couple of his Stahl flat-back also.
I also would like to see a clear picture of the purfling on Jim's Maurer, and one of the rosette.
i had a poor condition but playable larson mandolin as attested by hartman who wrote he book. it was ok but i sold it locally for what it cost me and the buyer turned around and posted it on the cafe a quite a mark up. don't know what he got for it. the top had been semi crushed and semi raised again. it had that half way ebony finger board binding. it sounded nice but not fantastic. not a very fancy model, but brazillian rosewood flat back so it had some umph.

And that is a Larson.
The flat-back was not made by the Larsons.
Some shots of the bowl-back showing the purfling, rosette, peghead, and fingerboard inlays would be helpful.
