It is black, has brass candlesticks, 13710 stamped on the inside on the left side inside the case and Model No 8 moulded on the steel frame behind the strings. It has 2 pedals and a lever on the left side next to the keys instead of the 3rd practise pedal. In gold lettering on each side of the name it says " Sole Agents South Africa, GA Fichardt Ltd, Bloemfontein, OFS" and Agente voor Suid Africa, GA Fichardt Ltd, Bloemfontein, OFS". I was wondering if anyone has any idea how old it is? Thanks Heather
