Probably going for violin papers while in Paris, maybe at Raffin, for this violin which I believe is from the shop of Giorgio Gatti, Turin, 1912. Pics attached are not so accurate in color and were taken before the violin was in my possession. The angled view of the scroll shows the color best. I think the violin will end up as "attributed to" , because the color and woods are very different from most later violins by Gatti. The stamp and its placements are exact, and several other things are right. I could find no online, Tarisio or other, examples from this period of 1912..which was just after the World Exposition in Turin. My questions concern getting papers, something I never tried before. Is there a way to avoid spending too much...for example would an appraiser give a preliminary opinion ? Thanks in advance for any advice...

I was wondering if you could help me authenticate this instrument, the label says Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume à Paris, 3 rue Demours Ternes. It has strange writing inside, I used a endoscope. I’m thinkining it could be some kind of logo with a name and serial number. Additionally, it has a strange oval drawn in blue ink.

Hi All, I could use some help with identifying a violin Branded Charotte à Paris. My best guess is Charotte-Millot, Joseph. It doesn't have a label, it has a brand on the upper block, and a stamp or brand in place of a label. The unfortunate brown overvarnishing on the lower portion of the top didn't want to move. Thanks for your thoughts, Moses
