Based on the label inside the mandolin, the instrument wasmade in Umberto Ceccherini\'s workshop in Naples (Napoli), Italy about a century ago. ( The Ceccherini mandolin labels commonlydo notshow any build year.)

As per the maker\'s label, the instrument was imported to England andsold by Alban Voigt, London, UK.

The mandolin was recently repaired professionally, including the fingerboard restoration, by avintage mandolin restoration specialist in UK. It is in the fully original configuration,including the wood finish. The stringsareDogal Calace \"Dolce\".

The refurbished fingerboard is of courseperfectly straight, and the mandolin is well playable, and it sounds as the double top Ceccherinis should.

The soundboard top was not varnish-polished, but only cleaned lightly in a non-abrasive manner, as was the rest of the mandolin,in order to preserve its good original finish.

The headstock as well as the fingerboard are bound in genuine mother of pearl.

Twotuners are stiffer than the others whenturning, but they are quite functional.

The mandolin comes with aneffective hardshell case of a modern economy make.

The asking price reflects the rarity of this higher Ceccherini mandolin modelas well as its very uncommon state of preservation, i.e., the original condition.
