The edge is all original... it definitely protrudes more than most violins’, though the lighting in these photos makes it look more severe than it actually is.

For now I’m just going to focus on getting it into playing form and see how it sounds.

Thanks for the responses! Any idea of its age?

I recently purchased this violin as a project instrument. It needs a fair amount of work, but it's such an attractive and well crafted instrument that I couldn't pass it by. There is a repair label inside the instrument from the workshop of Johann Stuber which could indicate it being a Dutch instrument? My knowledge of violins is very basic so I would greatly appreciate any insight into this instrument's origins which you guys have to offer. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!

I recently came across this violin on ebay. Although it does seem to have some issues it appears to be well made. My amateur guess is that its a mid 18th century Mittenwald violin, however, I would like to have your opinions on what you think this violin may be and possibly, who made it One unique feature I noticed on this violin is that the scroll eye seems to be filed down at an inward angle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/152649649255?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
