BACK FROM THE BUYER,  WITH A CRACK IN THE TOP AROUND 200MM LONG, DUE TO CARELESSNESS BY THE POSTAL SERVICES. THE SALE WAS CANCELLED AND THE BUYER REFUNDED. I HAVE SINCE REPAIRED THE MANDOLIN, GLUING THE CRACK AND INSERTING 6 SMALL PATCHES TO THE UNDERSIDE. I HAD TO REMOVE ONE OF THE STRIPS IN THE BACK TO GAIN ACCESS TO THIS PROCEDURE. THE CRACK BARELY SHOWS NOW SINCE I ALSO RE-POLISHED THE TOP AND BACK. PRICE REDUCED BY £20.
