Mysteriously this has been adjudicated an 1668 over 5 [ESC 37A] variety by NGC. In the opinion of the cataloguer, there is no evidence of any overdate, including the sometimes encountered '8 over 7' [ESC 37]. A view further supported by the few '8 over 5' examples traced by this cataloguer clearly exhibiting nine strings to Irish harp.
Estimate: £500 - £700
