mendicus

I bought from him wood for my first cello as he was about 50 km from where I lived then, he have large hall full of wood, he was very nice, made me cup of tea and we talked a bit.When I was leaving, he drove me to bus stop because I haven't had car.

I don't think you can buy his violin for $25000 you mention in Strad thread

sold for $5100 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-High-Quality-Italian-German-Violin-23-w-2-Bows-French-Lyon-Healy-Geib-/132747175316?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137

because of pointed purfling and also place and period where it could be from looked correct to me. What could you say about its origin or age?

I can't find stamps.There is unreadable remnant of label and repairer's on treble side.Can be stamp under that label? Still not Voigt after rotation? or with worn corners?

I would like to ask if you can confirm that this violin was made by Johann Christian Voigt II and when it was made? It has original neck and bassbar Thanks

looks to me like scam page https://www.latestcore.top/a-beautiful-old-french-violin-bassot-19th-century-p-7651.html https://www.ebay.it/itm/A-beautiful-old-French-violin-Bassot-19th-century/292034798960 https://www.latestcore.top/19th-century-german-master-violin-video-antique-geige-violino-p-8953.html

Label says (in Czech language) 'tovarna na hudebni nastroje' that means 'musical instrument factory'

Looks to me like Salzkammergut with later purfling on top,but I don't know much about it so I can be completely wrong

Among various old violin accesories I have found these four Hill's chinrests

I think he uses formula 2*weight*1000/((A+B)*C*D)

There is only written that he was self-taught and worked in Velky Osek, Kolin and Kutna Hora at 1920-1935

Is there normal bassbar or special as written in book?

From book Cesti houslari (Czech violinmakers) by Karel Jalovec (translated by me with my english:)) 'Polak Josef, Velky Osek, Kutna Hora, Kolin, 1920-1935. Self-taught that worked after Stradivari; inserted to violins special bassbar of his own construction.'
