I picked this up at a thrift store that had no idea what it was. I can't find any identifying marks on it but the case it came with says "British Made" and lists a patent number on the clasps that I unfortunately haven't found in any database. Can anyone help I.d. it, or even give a rough guess as to its age? I'm hoping it will be a bit of fun to play around with once I get a bridge and some strings on it. Speaking of which, the graphite markings look like it may have sported more than one type of bridge over the years - a narrow banjo-style one and a wider mando-style one. Which should I give it? And what sort of strings would be appropriate? The whole instrument is only 21 and a half inches long and 8 inches wide. Thanks for your help!
