Gold overspray on what little of the strings I can see indicates that the instrument has probably never been restrung. Split in the soundboard. Brass name plate on fallboard is not factory. Probably placed there when the piano was stripped and refinished. Without seeing more of the technical, best guess is that it's all original and likely worn out. Not sure of the model.
