This is better suited to the Luthiery section. Maybe admin will move it. Anyway, Esteso used that M. Ramirez head design up top, so Sobrinos did too. They started the media luna thing, supposedly, in 1953. I have seen weird variations on it ever since. The reason for the variations I believe is because even more luthiers than the 2 brothers, were making those guitars. This is just my educated guess, and gut feeling. I think they have been contracting out since the 60's. Anyway, I played a Conde from the late 60's that had 2 addresses on the label. Gravina, AND Atocha....so they have had 2 store locations for a long time. The earliest Felipe V guitar I have ever seen was from 1985, and was a fantastic instrument, with a unique signature "Felipe Conde". Faustino died 1988, and Mariano died 89. Hope that helps. Ricardo
