You might as well tell us what the label says ...

In my view French maybe 1930s, superior Mirecourt work - label might be something like Paul Bisch.

No fun in giving it away!

No it is not Paul Bisch

Hi Germain can we see the button and bottom rib?

Millant?:unsure:

Not Millant. Button and bottom rib have monogram/ brand and it will give the answer away...

..." control freak reveal games" Haha

No just keeping the collective ID machine sharp! I guess taking about the brands gave some of it away. Yes it is Italian.

Or the brand is fake, did this come from the south of France??

No... also the instrument is certified and confirmed authentic by another of the violin recognition "gods"

Gaetano Gadda

I was thinking Gadda, but does the  the purfling on the OPs  violin go far far enough into the corner for one of his?

The purfling terminating so far from the end of the corner, along with the absence of pins, seem to be distinctive traits.

Hmm interesting... would you mind explaining in a little bit more detail. Would love to learn more about that

Often, though not exclusively, one might expect the purfling tip to end up at the point, or close to it, where the corner fluting and rounded edge meet.

Here, it stops a long way short, perhaps around 4mm from the end of the fluting. Lots of Italian makers used pins, and plenty didn't, but the two things combined stand out to me.

There is also the extremely broad upper wing to the F hole.

Thanks. Hmm I guess it is visible because @Delabo also mentioned it. I don't quite see it...:(
