1942 Ali Khalifeh on ebay?
Have a look at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=359&...
Doesn't seem possible...
Is this just an ordinary "tourist" oud?

The vendor says that it's from 1942, but it's probably more likely that he misread the Arabic 9 on the label as a 4. So I would suspect that
the oud is from the 1990s.

Actually if you look really close in Arabic it says 1997. Old ALi was long gone by then.
This is DEFINITELY a tourist oud.

Hello Spyros C.
According to your opinion, this Ali Khalifeh is Tourist oud.
Do I hear that this oud is not real Ali Khalifeh? How do you discern the truth of oud?
Seemingly, according to the opinion of other members, this oud was made in 1992. As how much do you judge it is about worth of oud made by Ali
Khalifeh?
I attach the picture of Ali Khalifeh made in 1967.
Regards,

Ali Khalifah Oud
Dear Tsugumi,
I have been studying the Khalifah ouds for a while now (Ali, Mouaffaq, Ali and Sons, etc), as they seem to pop up everywhere nowadays. There are
several points to observe, and I outlined some of them in an older thread on this forum. You could probably search for it.
Your Khalifa looks quite genuine at first blush, but it would be interesting to look inside at the label, and also see it up close. Some of the
aspects of your oud, appear to be the work of Ali himself. Can you disclose where, when, from whom, and for how much you bought it ?
Thanks
Spyros C.

Ali Khalifah Oud
Dear Tsugumi,
This looks indeed like a late 80's early 90's model of Ali Khalifa and Sons. If you can verify the authenticity, I would say $700 - $ 900
