I bought one of these virtually brand new in the mid 1980s with an identical grill (in fact, identical everything as far as I can see), bearing the name Mudan. Made in China and keyed A/D. Wasn't bad to play, though all the original straps were vinyl and had to be replaced quite early. The celluloid finish was not quite as well applied as on the standard Erica and the bellows were more shallow, but with a couple of extra folds.
IMHO, not a bad instrument for a beginner, as the seller implies.
