The logo is curious. On the gibson forum, the guys seem to think it's an L-50..BUT all the examples from the late 1930's to 1940 seem to have two differences.
1. The F holes are smaller
2. The "Gibson" logo is smaller fitting between the top 2 tuning posts and someone said they were silkscreened where mine is inlaid mother of pearl and starts in the middle and ends in the middle of the top 2 posts.
Another difference i've noticed are the tuning pegs or keys are nickel on mine vs. the "plastic" or " nylon" whatever that off white stuff is made out of
