I am a musician and recieved this zither from my wife. Not sure of maker or tuning. Any help appreciated.

Unusual 6 string griffbrett, which has pegs not a "machine". This instrument appears to be very old, yet in apparent good shape, may be quite collectable, and needs professional appraisal.
What is the emblem on the top right?

The red "f" seems to be the fourth string in the accompaniment section. The first accompaniment string may b a flat/g sharp, again speaking to age.

Tuning pegs appear quite "shiny". Has this instrument been recently restored?
