Is that a white sticker I see inside of the soundhole? Would that make it an early 70's / late 60's guitar?

Looks like the bridge was replaced with a later one. But it's got the bound fingerboard, which makes it, I believe (without looking up the seriel number), a 1970-71 model. By 1972, the Deluxe Balladeer had different bracing, more inlays in the fingerboard, and was called the Legend.

I had this seller email me some additional pics, and the bridge is the 1970 "winged" style, which seems to jive with all the other appointments to put it at, as Paul stated, circa 1970. I was eyballing this one , but at the time couldn't justify purchasing another acoustic six string (I have five, not counting my nylon string). Had I known it would've gone for so cheap...
