Structurally, this is essentially all-original except for its having newer planetary geared tuners. I bought it from Leo Coulson at Intermountain Guitar and Banjo, and he knows banjos. The serial number (see photo) is #63541, which I believe dates it to 1925. It is mahogany, its pot is about 10 3/4" and its scale is 26". I have a 27" scale Regent, and this is noticeably shorter. The case is older but not original, as the photo shows; there are no issues with its latches, etc.
I like these simple old Vegas, but I prefer the maple on my Regents. There are no issues with this banjo.
Thanks for looking.
Steve
