some cowboy guy gave me an old beatup mandolin in return for a pack of smokes, Im trying to find out what its worth if anybody could give me an Idea.

its in bad shape, it has cracks and broken strings, but playable.
this is what I can read from the inside:

Try asking at The Mandolin Cafe, lots of experts there.
