Lowe Vintage sold this mandolin brand new back in 2018, and the owner was very meticulous in its care; the condition could only be described as "excellent"! From the Collings wesbite:

"Built in very limited numbers, the MF5 Deluxe V tops our mandolin line. Multiple black/white purflings and elegant appointments accompany our most carefully selected tone woods in an impressive display of craftsmanship. With elaborate hand etched inlays, a fancy engraved tailpiece, and our ultra thin varnish finish, we present to you our flagship mandolin."
