I believe is a fingertip guitar. Do not have pics yet. My friend has Marlen model 210 serial number 701791. She is very old but I believe is in good working order.
Thanks.

Yes read that serial number backwards and that Marlen was born in 1971.
A Marlen at that time was called a "pull-release system", it's a system underneath that pulls a single finger raise and then counters a open note with a spring tension and then to lower that same note.
Let's see some top and underneath pics.

This is the E9 tuning procedural that I made for two different Marlen pull release owners, collated from various sources.
Great sounding guitars. If in need of much work, as these two guitars were, challenging to work on.
I had to apologize to them as I handed them these sheets.
"Sorry bud -- it just is what it is" is all I could say.
