![]() One interesting detail is that there appears to be a screw hole for a finger rest (pickguard) bracket on the bass rim, near the waist. ![]() Those are still readily available in modern repro versions. The original tuners, if you don't have them, would be individual closed-back single-ring Klusons with plastic keystone buttons. The inside of the guitar is probably clear-coated rather than bare wood. If there is no factory order number, look for evidence of a lost label, such as an oval glue pattern on the inside back. Guitars prior to that probably would have a factory number (FON) ink-stamped on the inside back, which should be visible through one of the F-holes if you look closely with a small flashlight. That label came in during April of 1947, the best I can tell. Mine had a white oval label with A-prefix serial number (visible inside the bass-side F-hole). That is the same logo configuration that was on my 1947 L-7.
