In the upper left hand corner of the object there is a partially worn off inscription that says "Reg. 1907... 429". Inside the instrument's sound hole there is a makers' mark, but its text is indecipherable. On the back there is another inscription, written in what looks like red paint, that says "Beredskaps mine, Från Värmland, den 26-2 1944".Language

According to a museum staff member, the inscription on the back of the object can be loosely translated to "Preparedness memory, from Värmland, given 2-26-1944".
