I put this link up previously in ebay-links section ,its for an amadeus in the U.S.Looking at the photo,s of it again i noticed what looks like a name scratched on one of the reedplates.Is this an important thing?..someone who has worked on this harmonica?...or just someone scratching the plate?

Steve M.... Maybe the seller's name?
Thoug the number 4409 might indicate sth else. But the windsavers do not.

The owner either didn't play it a lot, or changed the windsavers with original ones.
But I think it's the original ones on it, seen by the little bump in it.

A good buy?
What's the original price of a new one?

The scratched-in name looks like Steve Malerbi to me.
