Accordion Identification, if possible. 3 months, 2 weeks ago #5803

This was my grandfather's accordion. We believe it was purchased in Europe in the 40s or 50s, maybe even earlier. Possibly Italy or Germany.

There is no writing on the exterior anywhere, no model number, or anything.

The only identifying mark we were able to find is the crown logo.

I can post more pictures if needed, as well as measurements.

The case is leather with blue velvet lining.

Any help? I'm really interested in finding out some of the history behind it (Gampa passed 15 years ago), as well as getting a value on it.

Also, it may be obscured in the photo, but there are three rows of keys under the strap at the top of the image. That was snapped very quickly with my phone but I will be happy to take some higher resolution photos if needed.

Thanks so much!
