Interesting story.

Timo's bridge does look more like Fabricatore style but is certainly not proof that it is Italian.

I added three photos of my 'sister'-guitar...

The florished bridge seems in Italian style, or does Viennese makers did such ? Mechanics appears also very early in the XIXth century. Nice one. some sound example please ?

I think so, yes. It has a similar, sort of chunky style head yours has. And the machine heads all brass, including the knobs (if that's the word). I'll post some photos later today when I'm home.

Hi Jelma, I think that my guitar had wooden pegs originally. Is you guitar's macine head original?

Hi Timo, that is a lovely guitar. The head, machine heads, wood and rose look very similar to a guitar of mine (the one in my avatar). Mine is unlabelled as well. The tuners are brilliant :-)
