Please help me identify this Vintage Uke

With no marking, a pure guess is that it is a mainland ukulele that prompted the island makers to use the Taboo Mark. Needs a 12th fret, nice Koa and rope binding how does it sound?
 
Can someone help me identify this ukulele? It has no markings on it. View attachment 86193

Ohana makes a tribute to Manuel Nunes / Augusto Dias that looks like that. One of the characteristics (in addition to the rope marquetry up the neck and headstock) is that the fingerboard is flush with the soundboard.

Could Harmony have copied Nunes/Dias so closely?

Could Ohana have copied a Harmony thinking they had a Nunes/Dias ukulele to go by? I cannot find a picture of the Nunes/Dias model they copied. It would be great if someone from Ohana could post a picture of their inspiration.

You can find them at Mim's, at Uke Republic, and at Elderly.
 
I would be curious to know what folks would be willing to pay for said instrument to have it in your collection?
