bazza Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I don`t think it`s a Jeffries, I have its double the stamping is far too neat, still a nice instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolm clapp Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If the "usual suspects" have bid it up that high, then it must be a genuine Jeffries.... I must say that the stamping on the instrument at auction looks the real deal to me. If Bazza's doubts are based purely on a comparison with the stamping on his own concertina, I'm wondering whether there may be some doubt as to whether his own is the genuine article??? I hope that isn't the case, but a photo perhaps may shed some light.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
