Can comeone translate this label?
I've been trying to use an arabic alphabet but some of the characters still confuse me. Thanks!

Interesting, it seems to be getting quite the attention hehe. I may end up making an offer if things don't get too out of hand.
How can you tell it's a fake? Are the real labels made differently?

Oh yah you can definetly tell by the way the label is produced there's a few threads where authentic mohamed fadel ouds were being analysed Iam not
shure where to find but you should get lucky with the search button.
That and the way the glue is layed out at the back of the ribs. It seems like its been done the fast and easy way like a inexpensive regular syrian
oud would be done.
Doesnt mean its a bad oud tho... Jameel once restored beyond its original quality and it turned out to be an excellent instrument.

Thanks for the help Samir. The oud looks decent I think I will get it if I can get it cheap enough. I'd like to have an Arabic oud to mess around
with. Here are some more pictures I think it doesn't look too bad as long as they don't want too much

Your right it doesnt look too bad... but keep in mind Iam almost 100% shure its made by the factory of Khalifa in syria. Its doesnt mean its bad...
Just follow your own advice and dont break the bank on that one.
Have fun with it if you get it.
