In excellent condition. Appears unused; as there no signs of use. FULLY-READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW! NO chips, NO missing parts, NO loose parts. The back-side bottom edge has been bumped & worn; but the wood is not damaged, from years of wall display. There is one (1) VERY shallow & VERY short (1¼-inch) surface split between two (2) of the back sections, but light does NOT penetrate between them. Has been wiped-down with a dry cloth, but is in need of detailed cleaning, some wood-stain touch-up & wood-preservative treatment. At minimum, the instrument needs to be professionally-tuned AND the strings M-A-Y need replacement. All frets are firmly in place & the neck is not bent, curved or loose. Any flaws will be either written about here in the condition section OR visible in the photos. Examine ALL of the photos carefully, using the «SUPERSIZE» feature. Photos illustrate condition better than words. Photos constitute part of the overall description. Carefully view all photos.

Appears unused; as there no signs of use. FULLY-READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW! NO chips, NO missing parts, NO loose parts. The back-side bottom edge has been bumped & worn; but the wood is not damaged, from years of wall display.

Year Made/Approximate Age: Undated, except for on the price sticker on the backside of the tuning-peg head being maked «49»; which the shop-owner where I bought said was the year it was made. Dimensions/Volume/Weight: About 27 inches (~69 cm) long by 17 inches (~43 cm) at the widest point. Mark(s): Bears two (2) paper labels inside the instrument. Photography of these labels was quite difficult, but trust my 5500+ points eBay feedback score as a sign of my honesty. The most visible label reads: «MADE IN USSR». The label has a white background with black lettering The label above the above one reads: «COBOT». There is additional info on this label, but it is in the Russian language, which I cannot fully read. I can only make out the city name of «MOSCOW» (MOCKBA). The label has a green background with black lettering & graphics. The graphic is of a bird (Dove???) sitting atop of a stringed instrument. eBay member since 2005 with over 3500 satisfied buyers!
