Hi!
 
I bought a old violin on a fleemarket south in Germany(close to the French border) last summer.
It messures 361mm(long) 26mm(upper part) 28mm(middle part) 30mm(lower part) 161mm(wide upper part) 106mm(wide middle part) 204mm(wide lower part) 
every expert that has inspected the violin, dates the violin to 1700 to 1770.
The violin turns light yellow in ultraviolet light, the ground turns black.
It has a very nice yellow colour.
The neck is grafted.(french style)
The back is one peace.
The purfling is painted on.(not ingraved)
Please let me know if anyone can tell me who made this violin, or in witch contry it was made.

Please let me know if anyone have a lead i can follow on this violin.

Witch school it could be from, or if anyone have seen any similar instrument.

It's wery well built, but shows sign of haste.

Let me know if you need more pictures, the top is of, so no problem with pictures from innside.
