Oh my... 
First of all, try to realize that nobody in this forum have seen you violin before, so, we rely on pictures to say our judgment. If you pretend that somebody say something, please provide more details. We can’t do anything with a scroll and two label shots… besides, that is not the label of Stradivari.
Please, don’t take it personal. Many people ask for information about their instruments providing poor quality photos or no photos at all… We are no wizards! 
Greetings!

However, for this particular instrument, I think it's pretty safe to say that's not at all an authentic Stradivari. To back that up, the lable says "---y of Stradivarius" Probably started as "copy of Stradivarius". Also, as stated, not Stradivari's label, also not Stradivari's scroll!

Well lets see, the letters of y strad don't line up that way but very possible. Now I have a better picture of a moniker on the label, perhaps this can identify the instrument and its maker? Thank you- djm

Here is another photo that can fit on the upload.
Perhaps it can shed light on the type of instrument. what is peculiar is the backward scroll with pegs to the rear.

OK, out of jokes and to leave it just clear:
Definitely not a Stradivari. A factory violin, probably German.
Sorry to say that, but the instrument has not a hi value.
Greetings!

Or what has you convinced it is not a strad?
