Care to venture an opinion on origin?

[Brian Glassman]

Ken, not sure if you saw my question about origin the the integral bass bar thread so I'm posting it here.

I've been told German perhaps 1920's and there is a small stamp/imprint in the lower bout rib near the end pin that reads GERMANY.

It used to have typical individual hat-peg style tuners.
