Violin ID, Repost

[Guy_Gallo]

As the composition of the forum has changed since last I posted this question, I thought I'd do so again.

I'd love to hear thoughts regarding the region/period for this violin.

the body looks like it has been revarnished???

When I got this violin there were patches under the bridge and on the upper treble side that were nearly to bare wood.

Those places were touched up and the whole thing French polished.

I don't think the entire top was re-varnished.

Here is a comparison. The difference in color is more to do with lighting than the restoration. The before was incandescent, indoors. The restored top is in sunlight.

Bump.
