I am not able to provide pics at present but the outstanding feature of the instrument is the headstock which is rather bulky(pregnant like) and not traditional but does end in the standard carved scroll.

The body is a3/4 gamba/flatback and the plates are totally flush with the ribs / ie no overlap .The tuners are the German type with the wooden caps and could be original but I'm not sure ....

If anyone can decipher my description and possibly send pics of the scroll then perhaps it could be 'identified'.

Your find! You post the pics..
