Guido Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Anyone know which company is behind this trade mark? No, not Amati, the logo on the left :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoGo Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Could be something from Czech factory "Amati Kraslice" (formerly Graslitz) just across borders from Klingenthal? Before WW1 was part of austria/germany, also during WW2 annected to Germany... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Amati is a model designation though (and it is clearly recognisable as such), but maybe you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraslice/Graslitz wasn't German but Austrian (till 1919, then Czechoslowakian), and during the WW2 occupation it's very unlikely that they registred a trademark for violin export there. This doesn't mean that the instruments weren't made at the other side of the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
