Offer early - strong offers are usually accepted without counter.
There is one bracket/clamp missing as pictured. There may also be a tightening but missing in the very bottom/centre bracket holding the strings into the round part of the case. The skin (white material) over the round drum has been replaced. Hey here is inlaid wood around the banjo and on the next. The inlay around the case is wood. The inlay on the neck appears to be mother of Pearl. The tightening knobs appear to be original. Screws used on the piece all appear to be flat heads which might help with dating this piece. Where the neck attaches to the round part, there is looseness. It can sit flush with the round case, however the neck pops up with the strings tightened. I feel as thought if should be glued down but I don’t want to do that in case there is a way to adjust the structure with the support piece under the write cover. There is an engraved star on the metal band around. The round case that I believe is the symbol for Vega - see photos. Being sold as is and as pictured.
