Slothead archtop, fret markers at 10 and 12...almost certainly European...not much more to go on than that...

I agree with Jeff, with the features he pointed out it’s almost certainly a European make of some kind, but there’s nothing more to go on.

That was made by Italian luthier Paolo Gaetano. I believe he was working before the war but I've only ever seen instruments he made from the late 40's or early 50's. They rarely show up outside of Italy.

Boom!

Nicely done, sir.

Edit: There is one for sale on Reverb out of Berlin, at the moment.
