Model: A-40 Mandolin
Available: 1948 to 1971
1948 A-40 specs:
Symmetrical body, "F" holes, arched top and back, laminated mahogany body with cross brace, clamshell tailpiece, single bound top, rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays, natural or sunburst.
A-40 discontinued 1971.
Here's a couple I found for sale.
Don't know what those numbers mean. They don't correspond to any of the Gibson serial number schemes that I find. It will probably take an expert to determine the true date. Anyway,very nice Gibson mandolin. Not one of the higher end models, but it will probably play and sound great with a new set of strings and a good professional setup.

Any help on identifying the model and possible value would be great.
