Hi there !
I just saw this lovely condition National Style N on Reverb.
Looks in lovely condition but the seller is out on a year or two, on the manufacture date.
I also think he has way over-priced it.
If anyone fancies a Style N, then this might be the one to go for, if the buyer would HALF that price, IMHO.
NB. I highly doubt it is German Silver.
I asked the seller for close-up pics - and I'm pretty sure I see brass exposed where some plating has flaked off, at the back of the body, at the soldered seam joint.
On top of that, it really should be brass. I'm not aware of any 2-piece bodies being made from German Silver.
I have an early 1932 all-brass Style N, and it's a lovely guitar. Massive baseball neck though.
I got mine for £2000 on ebay about 6yrs ago - it did need about £350 work done to it though (neck reset, new fretboard, neck straightened and hidden adjustable trussrod installed). So this guy's price is way over the top in my opinion. He wants about as much, or more than what I'd expect for a minty Style 1 roundneck Tricone !
