    This is being offered at the moment, it doesn't appear to be the "dodgy" 1913 of a few weeks ago

    It's always tough with a brand new seller. You never know if they are real or not.

    The seller has no feedback and is selling in the U.K. while the instrument is in Madrid. Hmm....

    I should really be practicing instead of sitting in front of the computer.

    Madrid's only 1000 miles from southern england. A lot closer together than most places within the US. Someone who never used ebay before signing up to sell their old Mandolin? Maybe. I wouldn't bid on it.

    On the other hand, it could be our old pal "Spoke" from Barcelona who's done a couple of fake ads for a D'Angelico.

    That's a steal, if legit.
