ID an unusual acoustic

Hi

Newbie to this forum but not to guitars or forums!

 I am 63 and have been playing all types and styles of guitars and music since I was 7 years old

I currently own around 30 guitars from old nylon acoustics, through 60s solid body electrics to modern jumbo 6 strings

I have friends who play or are luthiers and can usually find out what I need there

However I would love more information on this guitar please. It is nylon strung and has an unusual sound hole shape and decoration. The circle decorations are made of metal! The fingerboard has been extended by a previous owner

Hopefully this link to my Google photo account will work but I'm sure you'll let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks for for letting me in

    Hmm, VIg quite an interesting assortment of influences going on there. Your old enough to remember the mix of style that came out of Europe 50 yrs ago before we had access to stuff from the USA. This is what I think it looks like - even eastern European.

    Thanks for the welcome and comments. My main style is 6 string metal acoustic picking, a sort of mix between Ralph McTell/ Gordon Giltrap although I play classical, jazz and rock. 

    This is is a close up of the fingerboard on the odd guitar (currently in my local charity shop where I value items for them)
