Hi. You are bidding on Antonius Stradiurius 17?? Violin. You are bidding on it as is. I really don't know to much about violins. I will give you all the information that I know. This very old violin is marked  Antonius Stradiurius Cremonenfis. facibat Anno 17??.(written as is in violin)

The violin has all four pegs,finger board, tailplace, end pin, the bow and old case.I see it has some cracks on it and please look at the pitchures this voilin needs work so please use your best judgement. It does have wear and scratches on it.The bow needs new hair. The case has the look of a classic coffin. inside the case it is coated with fabric. It seems that this case was made for the violin. The case also has some wear and scratches. You would need to buy strings for the violin It seems that this violin was taken good care of for 272 years. This case has some wrighting on it from someone to a mary in 1901 so it is atleast 97years old could be even older so I wish you all good luck.Happy bidding!
