I bit the bullet...I Offered one of my other mandolins as trade for the Silver Angel. Now, I wait, biting my nails to the quick, opening my email every half-hour to see if there is a reply, issuing guttural cries of alarm when the phone rings...

Just in case you want to see what I will be trading (hopefully)...I found the mandolin made before mine in a shop in Seattle. Mine is finished identically, but has a custom tailpiece and frets 22-29.

This is the front, and This is the back.

That's all for now, hafta go check the email to see if I won the lottery...
