Comments:
Heart-shaped rosette. Turner label is facsimile by Dolmetsch; their own label also present: “Repaired by / Arnold Dolmetsch / Haslemere / 1950” [printed except Repaired by, 1950]. Neck and head probably by Dolmetsch; fingerboard and tailpiece by M. Heale, who restored it for Caldwells. (TGM’s photos taken after later restoration by John Pringle for John Mark Rozendaal.)
