any info would be helpful i have another one which is damaged & want to know if it is worth restoring so I will post pictures soon
I've never seen a banjo from London before, especially a five string (although the 5th string tuner is missing). I don't know anything about your manufacturer, but I'd definitely say it's worth restoring. If you have a traditional instrument store nearby, take it in for an evaluation.
Hi David:
We did an interview with Lowell Levinger about banjos. You may want to contact him:

"The devil plays a 5 string. I've made 2 & don't even know how to play one! I just love banjos!
