Need help on this Carlo Antonio Teflore figlio violin

hello, I found an antique violin from local estate sale. I did a research and it might be from the family of Carlo Antonio Testore, Milan. Please check atttcahed photos and let me know your opinion.

 

Could be a great find-here's a page of (authentic & not) labels by the firm. Good luck, and I hope you find an acknowledged expert to research your piece.

Apparently he branded an eagle on his instruments:

That said, even 19th century copies can bring in a hefty sum, depending on the quality of course:

Your (possible) C.A. Testore is a beauty, but I am no violin expert. I will tag @all_fakes for you.

 

Interesting violin, though it looks like it would need some work. It would need a bridge at least; and it could be mentioned that an amateur can't generally tell if the sound post is in the right place, or even present.
And labels often refer to instruments "in the style of" or reproductions of earlier instruments; or are even outright fakes. Your best bet for more info is to take it (and the bow) to a violin shop accredited by American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers - American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers. A good shop would recognize the violin's maker, or easily find it in their reference books; and a good bow by a good maker can be worth more than the violin it is found with.
See their member directory. (If you are outside the US, you may be able to find a local equivalent. Accreditation by the US federation is pretty much a guarantee that they will give an honest opinion.)

 

Yay , Steve !!!!!!!!
