: : I am interested in a list of known violins and their owners. Can anyone direct me to such a resource?
: My mother in law owns a JOSEPH GUARNERIUS FECM CREMONAE ANNO 1725, she is interested in selling it, are you a potential buyer, We live in Chihuahua, Mexico 500 miles south of El Paso Texas.
My Mother has a Guarnerius violin with an inscription on the inside" tofeph Guarnerins filius Andreae Cremonae fub titulo S. Therefiae 1711." The first letter appears to be a backwards j not a "t". We are researching this violin due to it's excellent condition. Any information wwould be of assistance.
Sincere thanks,
