GIBSON A-50 MANDOLIN — CIRCA 1946–1947 — SUNBURST — MADE IN USA

Price: $1,499.99 + shipping / offers

Vintage Gibson A-50 mandolin in Sunburst, made in the USA.

This instrument is dated conservatively to circa 1946–1947 based on period construction details, logo style, hardware, and comparison with documented Gibson A-50 examples.

No serial number, paper label, or factory order number was located during inspection. The circa 1946–1947 date is therefore based on physical and period-correct identifying features rather than a factory serial or internal FON.
