[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 9472926, member: 55"]You probably need a mirror to see where the serial number would be - the end block is the piece on the inside to which the neck is attached; and you likely can't see all of it just by looking through the sound-hole. The top does look like what one would expect on a Martin....but you need to have a serial number, or it isn't a Martin. Should look like "A-123456" or "A 123456"[/QUOTE]
