    Curious if anyone can tell me anything about this Mandolin? I can’t find any markings, labels, etc on it. Would love to know a little info about it since it was my Italian grandfather’s instrument. Thanks!

      Welcome to CW Tmorgan! Was this Mandolin ever played? It looks pristine, maybe just a wall hanger, it's beautiful though! :^D Thank you for showing! I hope someone can help you! :^)
