It has a "Musikhaus Barth" plate on the back of the headstock [...] Musikhaus Barth was located in Stuttgart
Are you looking at the same guitar? I'm seeing a "Musikhaus Ehret" plate on the back of the headstock which was in Mannheim rather than Stuttgart.

Edit: I think Reverb tries to show you a similar listing when the original one sold. Try this link instead: https://reverb.com/item/32898512-fender ... _sold=true
Yes, sorry. I looked at the Reverb suggestion, different but similar looking Guitar :fp:
The one that you got looks awesome. Great condition with the right wear in the right places. Also the back of the neck looks as it should (the other guitar has likely a neck finish overspray, yours for sure not). Share some more pictures once received :-*

BTW: It looks so much like my Jaguar from the same year. Similar clear coat yellowing, similar tort.
