This looks very shall we say, unusual for a Martin.
The back is of particular note as it reminds me a lot of some earlier mandolins from the first half of the 20th century which would have their backs stained in a striped pattern to resemble wood grain.

Further, with that label in place it highlights the fact that the centre reinforcing strip common to most Martin dreads is missing.

The bridge is also the wrong shape.

I personally would not go near this.
