Hi,
I have recently inherited a Hohner Verdi II from my father who died a few years ago. He played it until he was around 60 but then it went into the attic and now is in my hands. I'd like to restore it etc. but am also interested in its history. His father picked it up from some looted Nazi stash whilst with the 8th Army travelling through Europe back from Africa. I read that I could age it from the serial number but I cannot find a serial number so I have a simple question to begin with, where SHOULD the serial number be. I see no maker's plate at all.
Btw, the instrument still is pretty functional though it has some heat damage which may originate from its early life as pilfered booty
