Marcos Capilla Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hello, I' have this violin and need some opinions about age and origin, no label inside but there have a hand write ink iscription " Ripr. nel 1938 ...... La Porta" I'd be grateful some opinions!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin swan Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The inscription appears to relate to repairs ... The violin itself looks like a rather nice old Saxon violin, maybe early 19th C. Jacob or Blank Face will know a lot more than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank face Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 In my eyes it looks rather composite - the belly much younger than the bottom, and the scroll possibly not related to both. So it can be nearly impossible to find out much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
