	Additional info	This picture is taken on 3rd July 1993 at the Town & Country Club, Leeds, UK. It was a charity concert for the Kirkstall Valley Campaign. It is another Beltona Electro Resonator, but the pattern of the round metal plate is different, aswell as the dots on the neck.

	Brand	Beltona
	Type	Mandola
	Year	Unknown
	Serial number	Unknown
	Additional info	According to this article, Mark Knopfler also owns a Beltona Mandola (Mandolin). I don't have a picture of that actual guitar, but it is most likely something like the picture on the left which is taken from www.beltona.net. I never read or saw anything about this before and I am not 100% sure if that info from the Beltona site is accurate regarding this instrument being part of Mark's collection.
