Thanks for the good work (and your answer). Sorry for the zero missing in the title.

The serial number you posted is incomplete; there should be 4 numbers after the letter H. Let me have the complete number & I'll be happy to look it up for you. We are closed Monday for Labor day & I won't be here Tuesday, so I won't be able to check on it until Wednesday unless you happen to post the number this afternoon.

But the rosewood (head an top) is complicated enough and near mint, the back not really.
