I have a GA Pfretzschner that is currently under the knife. It had an integeral bass bar which was removed. I wasn't sure it was the thing to do and had to decide whether or not to do it. Turns out there was a crack along side the bass bar so it had to come out, dumb you can be, luck you gotta have. I don't know if it means anything, but the purfling on the back has the same shape, elongated teardrop, I think it is from that same period, it is definatly a Pfretzschner though, it has football shaped stamp inside with makers name
