Juzek question

[joelkelsey]

Hello Mr. Smith,

I have a flat back Juzek bass that I was told was from around 1950. Did met music import flatbacks post WW2? I was told that they didn't by someone on talkbass. Also, the label is signed John Juzek (I know he never made basses) and says Prague Checkslavakia( sorry about the spelling). Does this mean anything in relation to the bass's age? The seller told me the bass is from Prague, but I have been told that post WW2 Juzeks all came from Germany. I showed the bass to Nick Lloyd and at first he thought it was a post WW2 bass by looking at the tuners. He later told me that the tuners had been replaced at some point and that he did not know how old the bass was. I would appreciate any help you could offer.
Thanks in advance
Joel
