I'm with Ken on the ebony strips Jim. They look very much like later additions. I'm also with Ken on it not being a Hawkes of any type. I think I'm right in saying that all the Hawkes flat backs (the Professor models) have angled backs. The Concert and the Panormo are both swell backs. Other possible guys to try over here for information are Tom Martin, Martin Lawrence, Roger Dawson or maybe Adrian Warrick. Depends where you are?
