The only thing that makes the writing German(ic) in my opinion is the capitalization in the gothic script. That’s clearly fractur. Gothic was popular in London and New York. Different capitals. The rest is ordinary business hand of the era.

I noticed that the ink in the date appears different from the rest, that the writing of the whole is “Italian/business hand,” and is likely later than the alleged late.

Unless the maker had a scanner and ink jet printer... in the 1920’s...

Your end pin is missing its removable pitch pipe. No kidding.

I think the finish colour is called Swan lake, but my French is a little rusty. No madder.

I like the idea of double doors in the back, for setting the sound post. Or is it an ash dump?

According to the VAR certificate, it's French. It says something about blockology and hands-on review.

The interesting bit being the clip that isolates the high and low frequencies... Not the dress colour.

I have seen top and back casts. The bridge dents are deep!

How about i think we can afford these if everyone donates a Bitcoin.

It's still good handwriting.

I had trouble matching the cast to the ct scan. Although excellent overall, the edges of the plate casts are not well defined.

Thanks! I usually only get negative feedback.
