Hard to tell if it's had a neck repair or not, but there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious there - and given the sinkage in some other places I think it would probably show.
I wouldn't worry about it - if it's had one it's been repaired very well, and that's the least of its problems from a value point of view anyway... the Kahler rout is the issue.
I wonder why the low E string has been left off the saddle like that?!

Whatever that leaves you is the right price - I don't actually know what these go for now, but I'd be surprised if the result was much over about £500... although I could be wrong.
If you can do the work yourself and fancy a project - and it could be quite cool when done - then maybe a little more, but not much.

I saw that a couple of days ago.
It's definitely legit, and I thought it was nice that whoever fitted the Kahler actually routed it neatly.
Almost tempted, but I know I'd never get round to fixing it up.
Let's just say that I was only prepared to pay a lot less than the current eBay bids.
Looks like a nice project. I would be tempted by a simple fill and a short vibrola to hide the end grain join

Spoke to the seller at length on this.
He mentioned an earlier offer and the eBay recommendation @SteveRobinson - didn't know it was you though.
From the conversation, I'd say it was genuine - the guitar used to belong to the seller's brother and the Kahler was added many years ago.

Pelham Blue or some other solid colour and you probably wouldn’t see it at all.
I’m certain it’s genuine. There are too many correct details for a fake - including the look of the fingerboard - and the shaping is all perfect.
Assuming the pickup is original I don’t think it’s too much yet, but it isn’t far off...
