Close, only around forty years off! And it is "rare" as opposed to being "well done".

Any insight from when it is? I also live in Frankfurt and would drop him a line...

I guess it is from the seventies (33, 36, 75). I already told the seller that the guitar is from the 70s/80s OMI line of Dobro instruments but he did not change title or description.

Yes! It is 1976 OMI 36, I had this exact model (spider into metal body) end of the 70'. Still have a pic somewhere.

Pascal, you are wrong. It is a 1931 OMI Duolian >  Shine On Michael |

Has those funky mandolin F holes from when the Dopyera Bros re-acquired the name and couldn't find the dies for the larger F-holes!

Is that the general sort Rev. Pearly Brown played? - I believe that his was custom and I don't think it was that model

Hi Slide496,
If my memory is correct, the Rev. Pearly Brown, played a 'Dopera Original' - pre OMI, same body shape & F holes, Brown finish.

I'm sure he is a very renowned dealer - he's still wrong. As everybody is saying correctly, this instrument ( a probable Model 36 OMI instrument) was made no earlier than 1972 and no later than 1985 when Don Young found the die for the larger f hole again.
