Comes with a NOHSC (Non-Original Hard Shell Case) π
'Classic 7' was changed to 'C7' after 1973, when Martin bought the Levin company. The top writing on the label is: PART OF THE CF MARTIN ORGANISATION and the constructor Georg Bolin is NOT mentioned, perhaps due to measurement adjustments.
The card inside the original case (with very smart / functional locks) says "Handgjord mΓ€stargitarr" = swedish for "Handmade master guitar"
