As we know, Mittenwald (and other related schools) let the linings into the blocks with a point.

I'm curious about the point.

Can one go as far as excluding Mittenwald (and related) if the tips are let in, but left square?

The two cases illustrated. First one a rather neat point; second one some taper but essentially square at the end.

I had Neuner & Hornsteiners with squarish lining tips, so it isn’t a general rule that they have a point.

There are no end of ways to let the lining in with a point, also including how close you stay to the rib etc. Here is a Schweitzer (a real one) for comparison

Johann Baptist Schweitzer was one of the finest makers of the Vienna school. In 1825 he moved to Budapest...
Can he be included in the Mittenwald school? (because I think that's what Guido was asking about - whether or not to exclude... the Mittenwald school)
PS: What a beautiful inner work :O

I was hoping to generalise (as one never can) for Mittenwald and related (or I should have said Fuessen diaspora), which would include Vienna. In fact my first example with the point is a Geissenhof. I'm aware the square end to the linings (like in my second pic) is how Stradivarius and many other would have done it, but in my few dozen observations on Fuessen diaspora in the wider sense, I've only ever seen points, hence the idea, which @Blank face shattered.
