Re: Can you tell about this mandolin please?
Your Ceccherini (Italian for snipers and pronounced checkereenie) is a nice instrument too, although worth a lot less than the Gibson. There were many Neapolitan-made mandolins imported in the early 1900s and Ceccherini was one of the few high quality makers to export them, in most cases through London-based dealers. Yours looks to be well preserved although it should really be looked at by a luthier to check for any repairs that may be needed and to have new light-gauge strings installed.
