Default Morris 12 string, model BR-92

Around 1977-78, I bought a secondhand T. F. Morris 12 string guitar, model BR-92.
I am now starting to play it again after many years of absence, and is curious to find information about it.
My problem is that although I have searched the web, and also found pages of old catalogs from Morris, I have not been able to find Model BR-92.
I do have found photos of 12 string guitars from Morris, but no similar.
The visual differences are as follows:
  • The head stock is not cut straight across but has three arches, the largest in the middle.
  • There is a inlay with a shamrock in a circle in the head stock.
  • And the pickguard is decorated with a butterfly and some flowers.
I will be glad if anyone can help with information.

Hey Boysen, Welcome to the AGF. I did a quick google search for this model and it took me to this thread Here's a thread that discusses Morris but doesn't mention your model, although it does reference another 12 string:

Pics would help a lot. Here's a thread that describes how to post pics. Basically, you need to save the pic to a hosting site, such as Photobucket (free), and then just link here.

I unfortunately cannot help in your query, but I just wanted to say that it is a nice looking 12'er. I am not a big fan of the pickguard, but the rest of it is beautiful.

There were several Japanese guitar makers that made copies of Martins, or guitars based on Martins with the squared off head stocks and some even had logos with script similar to Martin. This was probably made after Martin sent out it's cease and desist letters asking manufacturers to not copy the head stock design.
