I have no clue ablut madolins. But my research shows this is a bowlback one. It currently has 2 strings. Probably missing one. Plays well when i strum it. It has a small bit of damage on the side. See pictures. Thats it. Thats all i know. Restoration project? Keep it as it? Its a beautiful antique instrument! Please reach out with any information on this. I love to learn about things and be accurate.
