I think there must be a story to this :!: Someone's pride and joy only to be flung in a ditch by his wife after she caught him with his secretary.
HWMBO was horrified to see one of his dream guitars (a vintage Jazzmaster) being sold on eBay by someones 'girlfriend' after she'd caught him cheating on her.
She actually gave revenge as the reason for selling the guitar, and also with some glee, was pointing out were she'd damaged it, whilst taking it apart
She sold it in separate bids - so not only got less for it- made it harder to track down :twisted:
It sold to several people. :roll:
Have you thought of contacting Donnigton or similar to see if they know if anyone has reported it Stolen or even if they can authenticate it?
That way if you do try to sell it, and it has been nicked or thrown away by a jealous lover you can prove that you did everything in your power to try to find out it's heritage
Long term could stop you getting into hot water
