The instrument did undergo one modification from the original. In the picture where Harold is holding the mandolin, you can see the current tailpiece.  Harold does have the serial number to positively identify the instrument.

Tommy Peoples' Fiddle Stolen
Camden, London
September 11, 2009

The fiddle was stolen out of a parked car which was parked about 200 yards from The Corner House Hotel, 201 Camden Rd., London, NW1 9AA. It was taken in the early hours of Friday morning, September 11, 2009.  It was in a black rectangular composite case. In the inside pocket of the case were two St Martin relics/medallions, a red glass heart, two D'Addario strings and a box set of Helicore strings.  The fiddle has a split or crack between the E and A tuning pegs. It also has an unusual brown composite chin rest, which you can see in the picture.



Also some CDs were taken as well.
