hollow GAB: please help me to identify it.

[Alex Ciavaglia]

Hello guys,
could i have your authoritative opinions about this hollow GAB i have in my collection? Good or fake? Please notice the bad soldering and the bad shape of the catch and the light shifting on the left of the stamp.
Who could be the maker?
ANy your sincere opinion is welcome.
Greetings,
Alessandro

Hi Alex,


The only thing I can tell you is that it's an original. Don't know the maker but the design always reminds me a little of the massive F&R GAB. I wouldn't be surprised if the catch was replaced at some stage.

Hi,
at this point, i'd be curious to see a Front&Reif hollow Gab to study the differences...could you help me ?
Cheers,
Alessandro.
