The label inside contains the following information:

Stamped on both tuning pegs is the number of its imperial patent (German Imperial Utility Model): “DRGM 186662”

The instrument shows various signs of wear, such as scratches, scuffs, and patina. Some cracks in the top have been lovingly restored. The lower string clasp is missing. The mandolin is in excellent playing condition with smooth-turning pegs, a straight neck, and a nice, low string action. No case included.
