I had never heard of it before, but this is advertised for sale on Le Bon Coin.
http://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/767423735.htm?ca=12_s
It claims "GUITARE JAZZ MANOUCHE DE MARQUE STIMER, la marque de fabrique des micros utilisés par DJANGO REINHARDT. Corps en palissandre de rio, son typé, bon état général."
Which roughly translates; Jazz Manouche Guitar of the Stimer brand, the make of pickups used by Django Reinhardt. Body in Brazilian rosewood, typical sound, good general condition.
Note it has a fret marker at the 9th instead of the 10th, so probably not by any of the Sicilian/French luthiers, but does anyone recognise any other clues as to who or where it came from?
