Lovely instrument and the sound seems nice
But all original i would not be that sure. The purflings of the soundboard and fingerboard are very different work than the purflings of the soundholes which are the same than between the ribs. Weird choice, or more probably the soundboard has been repaired / opened to a point deserving to changes the purflings.
I would examine the edges of the instrument in detail.
Good luck with the sale

You know Georgy did many designs and used couple of bowl shapes
Unlike other Nahat, you will not find 2 identical ouds by Georgy
Anyways the side purflings are bone with wood and these are rare for Nahat to use bone in the surroundings of the oud
The bone age matching the bone in the fingerboard
And the purflings around the rosette matching the purflings in the back between the ribs
In my experience this work can't be made with any person other than Nahat !
Thank you for sharing your thoughts im really happy to read your comments I'm also happy that you like its sound :)
Regards
