: : I have a violin with the label Joseph Guarnerius fecit cremonae (with e on top of a) IHS with a cross anno 1730 the 30 kooks lighter in color and different looking. I am curios to find out if it is original or a copy. And its value either way.
What I have is not a violin, but a viola and the date inside is 1740. I, too need to know if it is copy or not and worth.
