Hello Uke Gurus,
First time posting on a forum ever, hopefully didn't screw this up.

I recently got this unbranded old soprano ukulele at an online auction. It had some repaired cracks and some additional cracks and loose braces that I repaired.
The description on the listing said “ vintage ukulele koa wood uke hawaiian”.
It is made of solid wood and the body is bound, top and back. The unique things I see on it are, a one piece peghead, neck and fretboard; circular (ring) fret markers at 3, 5 and 7; and the headstock is routered around the top (which I can’t find in any other ukulele photos online). Can you help identify this uke and the type of wood it’s made of?
Any info you can offer will be appreciated.
Thank you.
