Hello all! thank you in advance for taking a look and sharing your knowledge. Can someone please help with any info on the origins of this violin. Pictured is the only label. Repair label or repairman writing on top of makers label?

I have a 2008 Alois Sandner Model #8225 cello that I bought a few years ago at Ifshin. I'm trying to ID it so that I can resell it. I would appreciate any help with this! Thank you so much! (Yes, one of the strings has broken so I'd need to get it restrung)

hello! i am new to this website, so forgive me if there’s anything on this post that’s out of wack... But I am a high schooler who wants to know more about my violin. I bought it around 4 years ago and was told by the business (who of course sells string instruments) that this is a German violin around 100 years old. I’ve always been curious as to whether or not this is correct, but also- what are these weird spots on my violin? Many of the nicks and circular indents were on the violin when I first got it- it doesn’t matter to me, but I’m just curious whether or not someone here know

As you can see, this violin is in poor shape. There are no cracks but just a lot of surface scratches and it looks like the color has come off in some areas.

My ill-advised impulse Amati purchase made it's way across the Atlantic and I think it's a Markie, but even after months of lurking and reading threads I still don't have an eye for these things. I don't have an endoscope, am not a great photographer, and it's a hazy day with weird light, so the photos might not be up to par. It has a two piece bottom rib (I think), and the back of the scroll looks like my other Markie.

Here is the issue, I would upload pictures of the violin... however I did so in a Facebook group and everyone wanted to turn the focus on the violin... My question is simple, has anyone seen a label like this? The little handwritten circles on the boarder ect... and if so can you show me one? This vioin has long been a issue for me, as the maker... this part of the label is missing, if it was a factory violin German or otherwise... more labels like it would be out there, but in all of my years I have yet to find one...
