Saw this one on eBay. Ad said it was unbranded, only says Made in Western Germany, in the soundhole. Sure looks like a Bruko to me. Is it? The design of the point at the end of the fretboard looks a bit different than current models, and it appears to have a gloss finish too. Their website says they started making ukes back in the 30's, and didn't brand them as Bruko until they moved their operations after WWII. The maple neck has darkened up a lot, compared to the bright white color of their new maple necks, so I assume it is a vintage Bruko.
