Hi all, I'm new to the forum and happy about the interesting informations I've already found.
Sometimes on pictures of used Excelsior accordions there are some numbers marked on the bottom side next to the model number, e.g. see attached picture, numbers 45 40. Is there a systematic behind these numbers, especially to find out the year of production?
If not, can someone help me to estimate the age and price worthiness of the Excelsior 922 in this ebay offer: https://www.ebay.de/itm/354639614263 ?
I've seen the long thread with a kind of similar question about Excelsior 922 https://www.accordionists.info/thre...fy-the-year-value-of-this-excelsior-922.4593/ As year of production 1983 is mentioned there, the numbers are 132 15 . Is there a timespan from... until... that these models have been built?
On the Excelsior webpage there is model 921R https://www.excelsior-accordions.it/product/921r as topmodel, from the outside looking quite similar to the 922. Might the 922 and 921R be of similar "topmodel quality level" or are these completely different instruments besides the 4 reeds vs. 5 reeds in 921R vs. 922?
Many thanks for impressions, clarifications and hints!
