Hard to believe that they are trying to pass off the "head" as original. Seems obvious from pics that at best the scroll volute may be, but it was grafted onto that much newer looking pegbox that they claim was Maggini.

Comments..?
The Cheeks do look new but might just be 're-faced' as my Hart was. The Bass looks small so the price is small as well for a Maggini.

This is a collectors or Solo Bass. Not an Orchestra bass. I think, as I haven't seen or played the bass.
