This Second Hand Vintage Gordon Giltrap D-Day Mandolin (VPM44) is in pristine, barely-used condition—like brand new.\n\nThis 8-string A-style mandolin is a faithful recreation of an original 1940s instrument carried by a US soldier during the Normandy landings at Omaha Beach in 1944. Every detail honours that wartime heritage: white ash body, nyatoh neck, rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays, and aged hardware featuring replicated soldier-carved inscriptions that echo the original owner's personal messages.\n\nWith 19 frets, aged tuners, and a rosewood bridge, it delivers authentic vintage tone and playability. The instrument arrives with a Zero-Gravity semi-rigid carry case, a souvenir booklet documenting its historical inspiration, and a certificate of authenticity.\n\nPerfect for the discerning collector, historian, or musician seeking an instrument with genuine character and provenance.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56707043918210,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1174\/3976\/files\/824194d4-884d-4b7a-8322-863d1e885a24.jpg?v=1781263654","url":"https:\/\/goughanddavy.co.uk\/products\/second-hand-vintage-d-day-gorgon-giltrap-mandolin-with-case","provider":"Gough \u0026 Davy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
