Anyone know where I can get accurate plans for a prewar Martin 0?

Allied sells one. The plans say that the instrument id from 1906, but I also got a drawing from someone of a 1926 steel string "0" and it was the same.

I have some drawing files for a 1937 O size. Its a profile drawing and a sketch of the bracing. No idea how accurate or authentic they are. I found them online a while back but can't find the link anymore. I can email them to you if you want

I tried to buy the Micheletti plans for the 0 Size. Only $12, but they have a $50 minimum order rule.
That's a pretty pissy atitude toward potential customers. I'm willing to pay a reasonable shipping and handling fee. I guess I won't be one of their customers.

Yeah, I wasn’t happy with the $50 minimum at first either, but it gave me an excuse to get some truss rods and fingerboards!
