The serial number is wrong on the Elderly details, "Acanthus" is #0260 on Mark's book not 0261 (a #1) Nice piece of National history though.
My regret are the NRP tuners (not very good, have these on my squareneck) they could at least change them for Waverly...

On Mark Makin's book, #0261 is a squareneck, so it can't be the same guitar. Not sure if there's any other known Acanthus roundneck?

I agree with you that this is VERY confusing at the moment.
Firstly, I know that 260 (with no zero prefix) is DEFINITELY a square neck acanthus de luxe pattern. It is owned by Colin McCubbin and we have photos.
0260 (roundneck) transferred from Brozman's original database. He recorded it as a "Stock Style 4" which, naively at the time in 1993, we concluded was an early pattern of Style 4. 0261 (roundneck) I have recorded as a Style 1 owned by Mike Lewis. On asking Mike about it, he doesn't recall it at all!!! So for the minute, we're up in the air about it. I think confirmation from Elderly would be a start!
In answer to "how many roundneck acanthus triplates do we have?" - we know of 0122, 0127, 0141, 0162, 0163, 0260(?), and 0269.
While we're on the subject - we know of fewer squarenecks - only 260, 339, 376, 414.

My bad, I made two mistakes while checking the tables : I missed the zero prefix, and I missed the whole 1927/34 table and went directly through the S series table, which explains while I didn't see any acanthus roundneck, nor the 0261 style 1.
Sorry if I added confusion to an already confusing matter.
