Todd, email some good clear photographs of the violin to me. I might be able to help identify your violin. I have an instrument that I believe might be an Andreas Guarneri, dated 1695. It is a magnificent violin, with the most beautiful double purfling around the edges one could ever hope to see. Thanks John
