Looks like a nice example (1971? I doubt it! :D ) , but it appears that the neck has been stripped and re-finished with a satin clearcoat - which raises a question:
I'm no expert, but I think I'm right in assuming that stripping off the original varnish would also remove the Ovation logo transfer, yes? So where did the refin guy get a replacement one? As I understand it, those Magnum transfers were larger than the ones used on guitar headstocks, and are pretty much unobtainable now.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Just looks like satin neck to me. Like maybe they just took and Magnum III or IV neck and put it on a Magnum I body, or it was guitar made in the transition period of I II and III IV and that's how it came.
To answer your question, I think the magnums are larger, but I would think there are still a few around. If not, they can be made, but you'd be surprised what can be found if looking hard enough.
