Looking for info on my dads accordion

[scottie13x]

Hi,
Firstly, apologies....I have no experience with makes and models of accordions...apart from listening to my dad playing when I was younger.

My elderly father stopped playing some time ago and his much loved accordion was put in storage.
He is looking to sell this now and has asked me to assist....since there are no specialist shops near him.
He would like to find out the year of manufacture and roughly the worth.
It is a Brevetto Scandally....full size...piano key 120 base. The grill register has #391962 on it and the number L729-69
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Direct contact can be made on <EMAIL email="scot.brown@gmail.com">scot.brown@gmail.com</EMAIL>.
Thanks.
Scot

Thanks Bob...will try and grab a few photos...and Ill check out the website. I'm guessing a rough estimate will be around £350 / £450 mark.

The Scandalli Breveto accordions were commonly called Scandalli BaBas in the US - Does it look like this -- http://img.jofogas.hu/images/Scandalli_tangoharmonika_46045493798.jpg -- Although of mediocre construction, in good shape will fetch from $600 to $750 USD
