Description from the seller

Ancient Neapolitan-made mandolin, precious woods used in its construction at the end of the 1800s,
headstock in figured maple with curve, typical of the Vinaccia school, but the label is no longer present; in fact, it has been restored inside where it was originally lined with thin reddish paper, then with the restoration reinforcing bands were added; the neck, however, tends to resemble a more pointed and less rounded shape.
Slight lack of inlay around the sound hole as shown in the photo
I ship it in a new case, which I include as a gift to the buyer.
