I have an English concertina 48 button that I would like to sell, but am having difficulty identifying it properly. I bought it about 20 years ago. It does not have a makers name on it, but does have "made in Italy" stamped in gold, & it came in a really nice case. I am hoping it's a Stagi. Can anyone help?

I've just done a bit more research & it may be a Bastari, (which later became Sagi, I understand.)

A very sound opinion Dick. Crap would be more accurate
