Old "Nicolaus Amatus" Copy Violin w/ Tourte Bow & Case. Amati

Description: Travel back in time with this Nicolaus Amatus copy violin. With a 14'' body and 23-1/2'' scale length, it is a 4/4, full-size violin. The inside label is reads "Nicolaus Amatus Cremonen Hieronymi Fil. ac Antonij Nepos Fecit 16.." It's an Amati copy, I believe. Two-piece flame maple back. Flame maple sides. Spruce top. Maple neck. Four fine tuners on a modern ebony (I think) tailpiece. Cosmetically, it looks good. It is very clean. The top has hardly any scuffs, scrapes, or nicks. The back and lower bout side has some scuffs and scrapes. On the bottom, the previous owner etched into the wood "33J-82" (or something, I don't know). "Chas & Lisa" is etched into the back lower bout. There is a hairline grain cracks on each side of the upper bout fingerboard tongue. They either don't go all the way through or have been properly repaired. There is also a tight hairline grain crack right next to the bridge on the treble side. It also doesn't go all the way through or has been properly repaired. Functionally, it plays. It comes with a bow stamped Tourte on the frog. It is fully haired. It comes in an old case. The latches, hinges, and handle all work. It's a fine old violin, ready to go. Questions? It will be well packed with plenty of new 1/2" bubble wrap and shipped in a new 32"x19"x7" stout cardboard instrument box.
