PHOTOS COURTESY OF DAVE MOUNTAIN, ENGLAND:

(His father has owned the guitar from new, when he purchased it from Kitchens of Leeds in c1962.)

Note that the bridge fitted is not original. It is in-fact a Gretsch bridge. 

This guitar is usually played with a De Armond 1100 Sliding Pickup fitted - a unit that was sold by Selmer in the 1960's as an accessory for archtop guitars.
