Hi Nedal,
Najm Abbood is a famous old school Iraqi oud maker, the same generation of the late Mohammad Fadel. He made several great ouds for big name musicians
as you can see in the following link:

Often times he's used Walnut/Beech or Indian rosewood/Walnut wood combinations for the bowl, and he has a unique style in making the bowl. His
talented son is super in making floating bridge ouds too (Haidar Najm Abbood).
It's not easy at all finding his ouds by the way, so if its an original oud, I'd sure say it's a keeper !
Best regards,
