cool mandolin. How old is it? 50's?

[67rene]

it´s a Gibson A40 from aprox. 1960s

im trying to find the age of a one that i might get my hands on. It looks ALMOST just like yours, with the exception of the tailpiece. Does yours have a number stamps in the lower f-hole, under where the metal pickguard holder is? mine reads 7617 22. Im not quite sure of the age, and i was wondering how i could be sure.

if you could tab this it would be great. i just got in to blues and it would be wonderful to learn this to get me started

[67rene]

the TABs are in the book : 2000 mandolin from Melbay
