kevin Prestwich Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 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?

Agreed. @kevin Prestwich, in the future, when photographing a violin back, please include the entire back in the picture including the whole button.

Agreed, but... I would humbly point that it isn't my topic, neither my photos. I just wanted to thank prof.
