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...
