Opinions on this Violin and maybe a identification

[Franky31]

I got this violin by accident online and in real life i am impressed.

its in my opinion finely made and a lot of expenssive repairs are made by the previous owner.

it has No stamp or label.

anybody got a idea about the Origin or a maker.

 

sorry for my english

Kind regards 

Frank

There was a Bow with the violin it is Silver mounted and Stamped L Bausch.

i am not sure if it is a Tradebow from Mk or a real Ludwig Bausch Junior.

The overall look reminds me a bit of "Carlo Micelli" the higher grades of which often came with neck grafts from day one. Or something similar. The bow looks far better than the average "bausch" but I'm thinking still a trade item.

Thanks @deans for your opinion on this violin and bow.

Difficult violin.. Scroll and general feel, to me is French mid19th century. What is the body length? 363mm?

I would agree with that. A close up of the rib joints could be helpful (pinched in the middle or mitred?).

And I would like to see more and brighter views of the bow head, looks as if the brand was applied later.

@Blank face More pictures of the bow Head and the rib joints.

Thanks. The construction looks French indeed. Not sure about the bow though, could be Mirecourt with an unoriginal frog or an unusual German. It’s difficult to tell about the wood, maybe @fiddlecollectorcan?

The view through the endpin/button hole  tells me that someone valued it enough for a sound post patch.  One that was expertly done an not visible externally.

It is quite attractive and outside the prior posts, I have insufficient experience to say anything further.   Perhaps it is of sufficient value to have appraised, in which the appraisal may be able to provide more detail.

The violin is now at my violinmakers Shop and got cleaned and set up.

i Hope she Sounds Good and for only 50€ with the bow i am more then happy with it.

I will let you all know when the viplinnis back and maybe he got more informations for me.

I own a modest Markie that one of previous owners loved enough to get complete top edges replaced both top and bottom and repurfled. Also very nice professional work.  Years ago that kind of work wasn't so expensive and reserved for old "collectible" instruments only.

Hard to tell ,daylight photos in focus would help.
