Congrats... I actually considered bidding on that oud... I wasn't able to resolve with the seller how to ship it...
I'm REALLY glad it made it to you safely....
Here's where your label was discussed earlier....

Can't wait to hear how it sounds....

Line 1. The fine art exhibition for musical instruments
Line 2. Hamido
Line 3. and his son Samir
Line 4. Selling-Buying-Reparing
Line 5. Tuning Pianos
Line 6. Exhibition: #1 Ansary's Corner, Al-Qal`a St.
Line 7. Wokrkshop: 11 Tawashy's Passage, Al-Qal`a St.
Line 8. Serial # 1 (Crack) 4372 - Phone: 931893
This appears to be made in Cairo by a maker called Hamido and his Son Samir. Personally, I haven't heard of him before but I'm not that knowledgeable.

It looks pretty good to me.
Compared with my (lesser) instrument it's got quite a big body compared with the neck. What is the string length?

Thank all for your help and comments!
You are right ziad the 3 oud in the videos looks like my new oud. Espacially the pickguard!
Thanks amtaha for the translation!
I look good in picture but I have to repair it before play it! They have some cracks on the bowl and the with inlay are cracked. I have to reglued it
on the fingerboard and level it. The big rosette are missing and the pegs are not so good !
First i will repaired the crack and the fingerboard and try it and maybe eventually i will restore it better.
The string lenght is 600mm.

I've got a new old oud too, by the same maker as the oud that this tread was started for; Samir Hamido. It's not a great oud, but it was a great
deal. I thought it was a Turkish style instrument - I'm not sure. The pegbox and bridge will accomudate 12 strings. I would really appreciate any
insight the forum members can give me.
It needs quite a bit of work to make it playable. The pegbox is completely detached from the neck- it is only held in place by the stiring tension.
My plan is to reset the pegbox, but I've got to think about how to do it, the wood of the peg box was damaged when the joint was broken.
One strange thing about the instrument is there is no discrete fingerboard, the neck/fingerboard are one solid piece.
Some measurements:
String length, nut to bridge - 61 cm
Neck length, nut to body - 20 cm
Body widest width - 37.7 cm
Body length - 51 cm
Bowl depth - 19.5 cm

Definitely not Turkish. Seems to be Egyptian.
Resetting the pegbox is tricky. I would have a professional do it, as if not done correctly it won't hold. A future break might be worse and harder
to fix, depending on how you fixed it.
This is definitely a "working-class" oud, not a high-value instrument; but it could be nice.
