Re: Gibson Mandolin Identification
That stamped number is a factory order number (FON). It could be 5502 G 15. That would probably put it in the range of 1941 per Spann's Guide to Gibson.
Also, instead of an A-50 I wonder if it is either an A-00 or A-1? I believe an A-50 of that time should have a pearl inlay on the headstock. Whereas both the A-00 and A-1 were silk screened. Otherwise, it looks like a decent find. Tuners are replaced (Rubners?)
