Bill Foss: I am not sure which model this is either but it doesn’t look like the top of the line. I hesitate to say that a 1950s Calace is not good but it seems like the price is a bit optimistic. Again not having the instrument in hand I can’t say for sure. Personally I think you might want to save your money and look for a decent vintage American bowlback like Martín or Vega which will cost you less. See how you like playing that type of instrument and then consider a higher priced mandolin even an Italian one. I think you live in the US. If you were in the UK I would suggest a DeMeglio or Ceccherini in good condition before spending close to $3000.
