Any idea what this may be?

Just spotted this violin from Brompton's march sale:
Look rather nice:

How does the auction house define the word Good, Very Good, Fine, Very Fine, Superb, Rare, Interesting, Important, and so on?
For instance, what qualifies this violin as a "Superb violin by P Guarneri", rather than a "Very Fine Violin by P Guarneri"?

What could have had happened to cause this type of injury?

A genuine Busetto offered by Brompton's auction this month:

Jacob...it's so funny..I posted at exactly the same moment as you did...

The front is pretty beat up....
Could this be a genuine Georg Wornle?

To me, it seems quite right, but seems like the sound holes were altered.
Another violin with the "Hill" Certificate!
Could this be it?
