"Moyen Modèle" Egg shaped sound hole..680mm scale..made most probably during or soon after the War.. it has the same dimension of the Selmer guitar but 1cm shallower.. . solid spruce top, laminated walnut back and sides, and replaced ebony fingerboard, as well as a new set of tuners and tailpiece to replace the cheap old set that turned backwards, and the cheaper yet bent metal tailpiece.. the top has a couple of "Chanteaux".. as per shortages.. the playabiity is spot on and the sound is "superbe"..
