Hello all. I have this beautiful Violin. It seems to be more than a 100 years old. Would love to know more about it. Sound quality, wood, age. I'm looking to sell it as well, so price range would be welcome. 

 

Much appreciate,

Uirá

The only pictures I can see are of an old violin catalog.  Is that what you want to sell?

The additional files show a violin apparently in OK condition labelled as the model " Le Dracontius " from the catalogue and a bow stamped "W Seifert"

These are the photos... I helped and converted it.

That was jolly nice of you!

We can see that it is a fairly hum-drum French factory violin, the second cheapest grade in the catalogue

2nd Cheapest Lutherie Vosgienne, not cheap like Medio Fino or the other cheapest JTL violins

[Strad O Various Jr.]

A Medio Fino is considered a good sounding student violin, that go for up to $2500 at some stores, about $1000 at mine, if you compare the prices of yours with the Medio Fino in the same cataloque you can get a good idea of the difference in quality, at least yours has real purfling, the Medio Fino does not, the tops will be pressed not carved but that is not bad for the tone, evidently
