Thanks so much. I'll see what I can find. I think you're right about how the pick guard connects. I've looked at pictures of other, similar guitars and concluded that it's held in place by just two screws, which are still attached to this guitar: one at the fretboard and on the side through the bent bracket. If I find a replacement, it should be obvious if it's the right one.

Thanks so much. I've searched inside for an order number and can't see one. No trace whatsoever. Any idea where I could get an original pick guard and the metal bracket that holds it to the side of the guitar? The screws are still on the guitar. Any help appreciated.

Can anyone help identify the year and model of this guitar? It was given to me by a widow that was disposing her deceased husband's personal property. She believes it's from the early 1950s. Scratch guard is missing. Otherwise in very good condition.
