He could be mistaken about the year, but he says that it has the F hole for sure

More often than not, the serial number never lies.

You should be able to search online. I have access to reference material back home. But, usually the serial number is a good start.

Tell 'em to use the serial number printed on it. It's usually in just a couple of places, maybe near where the neck connects, maybe up on the headstock, etc... That'll give 'em some certainty about what exactly it is. Then, you can start looking at condition and color - as color matters a lot.

A blond 1952 could be worth anywhere from 25k to 90k if it was owned by someone famous, all things considered. There's a wide variance in price. For that era, you'd want it to be blond - which was iconic at the time. If you have the original case that's even better. If you have the original paperwork with it, that's even more awesome.

Hmm... A '52 would have had a tweed case type of deal.
