Mohammad Fadhel or not ?

I know you're tired of this question!
I am in contact with the seller of this oud, it does not specify that it's a Med Fadhel oud
I did my research in the forum and google, and don't find this model.
I am intrigued by the name of Mohammad Fadhel in the two small "rosaces". No one has seen this before? This pickguard seems to be used on Bashir style oud only, wrong ?
I'm waiting for more pictures, perhaps it's hard to judge with this one, and without label.

Looks like a crude imitation to me.

However may still sound good, if the price is right.

110,00 EUR = 155,982 USD

What I see in the photo doesn't look like an oud from a master luthier to me.

And ... do you think a used Fadhel oud sells for only 110 Euro?

I bet, it's a fake one.

Fake there are millions of them. The soundboard is terrible.

Welcome back, Ronny :D

Thank you all for your advices. The buyer didn't send me more photo, let it go!
I should be very naive to hope that it's a real Fadhel oud! still learning.
