Anyone ever seen this logo before? And no - it's not a 'Levin'

Anyone ever seen this logo anywhere before?


I know it's not the trademark of Levin owned by Svenska Musik SA, but is it a recognisable name to anyone or just a very poor attempt at a fake?

Sorry - this isn't a sale!  Wrong category - now in the category I meant it to be in!

Don't know, but from other details - nut, truss rod cover, machineheads - the guitar looks like a modern Korean or possibly Chinese instrument, so it's one of two things - either a cheaper licenced version by Levin, or an outright fake.

My guess is outright fake at the moment...  Different enough to avoid a trademark law suit but close enough to fool unsuspecting buyers?

On the other hand, Levin had a number of incarnations in the far east so you never know.
