[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2611306, member: 84"]I found this today at my local thrift store. I know it's old by the case, but also because of the paper label inside it that says Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1722 And on the bottom/edge of label it has - Germany - stamped in blue ink. (couldn't get it in photo) - so I'm thinking it's at least pre wwII? Also the top part where keys to tighten strings is nicer than a reg cheap violin, right? Or is it just a cheap chinese copy meant to fool (like it did me)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
