Bart Reiter Left handed Professional internal resonator banjo 1989 - Natural

Well used 1989 Bart Reiter Professional left handed internal resonator banjo. A few dings, finish worn over one rear f-hole (see pic) plus finish checking.
5 string peg replaced, railroad spike holding 5th string in place instead of nut. Works well. Scooped. Beautiful sound.
Bart stopped building internal resonator models some years before he stopped making banjos all together and not many leftys at all I don’t play it much anymore and somebody should
