Anybody able to date an old italian acoustic guitar or able to decipher foreign surnames? I need to find out so I don't do any restoration if its an antique.

Is there a brand name, or model number, or serial number anywhere on the guitar?

If so, that would be good information to post so someone may be able to help you.

Nope, well the label when translated reads...

Francesco P?? & Sons
Factory of musical instruments
Founded in 1840
Napoli Italy"
