Hello, dear customer. You have here the possibility, to buy an old violin with LION head and label. On the pictures is to be seen, that it is an old and nice instrument. It is a full size violin (whole length: 588 mm, body: 358 mm, upper bouts: 159 mm; middle bouts: 104 mm; lower bouts: 194 mm) with label: Carlo Antonio Testore figlio maggiore del fu Carlo Giuseppe in Contrada lar ga al fegno dell' Aquila Milano 1738 The violin is in a very good condition, but there is one repaired crack on the violin!!! Violins and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed' include images of their certificates and are therefore considered to have a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, origin, and age than instruments described only as 'labelled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we provide no guarantee of any kind
