Need help with model identification

Can you please help identify what kind of Mosrite this is? I'm not sure how old it is, previous owner not sure about history. Thank you!
Yes, it appears you have a Firstman built Japanese Mosrite.
According to guitar-list;
Firstman was a Japanese guitar and amplifier company founded in 1967 by Kazuo Morioka, an ex Teisco employee. Firstman also had an licensing agreement with Semie Mosely to produce Japanese Mosrites.
Aside: Kazu-o means First-man in japanese.
The finish looks pretty good for a 60's guitar, how are the frets?
