My mother has a Stradivarius violin. It has been with her for almost
55 years and is still in very good condition. Touch wood !!!
The label inside it reads: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis, Faciebat
Anno 1713, Made in Czechoslovakia .
Based on the above info, can anybody confirm if my violin is a real
Stradivarius or just a fake. Are there any firms/agencies who can
authenticate this ?????
Presume mine is a fake, what could be its value ????.
I would sincerely appreciate if you can please provide me any further
information on this violin and also on an original Stradivarius
violin.
My email is g...@bgl.vsnl.net.in
Thanks

Thousands of factory-made violins modeled after the great masters were made
in Germany or German speaking lands before WWII. I have a Maggini. It's
worth about $800, max.
I wonder how one of them ended up in India!

That case fascinates me!

"Faciebat Anno" means "made in the year".
