1932 Gibson L-2 specs:
No sparkle trim, mahogany or rosewood back and sides, pin bridge (adjustable bridge with trapeze tailpiece optional), elevated or glued down pickguard, raised rosewood fingerboard (or not!), 12 or 13 frets clear of the body, natural top finish or Argentine gray sunburst finish.
FON is 453, It's definitely a 1932.
Part of the fun of old Gibson guitars... poor recording keeping by the company.
It's a detail, but I would put my money on not '32, maybe '33. Your cool guitar, unless I am mistaken, has
14 frets clear of the body. Check page 32 of
Gibson's Fabulous Flat-Top Guitars, there is a photo of a '33 that looks like your guitar (except replaced bridge).
My '32 had FON 405.
