OK...HERE I GO.  First and foremost I have NO proof, pictures, etc that this is from Leroy Abernathy's estate...A handwritten note in the case states..."Previously oned by Leroy Abernathy and purchased from his estate."  Note is still in case, which by the way is a nice vintage GEIB violin case...I will include a bow but it will be just a regular, newer one.  From "verbal" talk on the trading side, the violin and case seem to be legit....maybe someone out there knows something about it??????   Knowledgeable information would be appreciated.  I will say it seems to be a good older STEINER, GERMANY VIOLIN/FIDDLE WITH A NICE VINTAGE GEIB CASE (which seems logical).  Violin appears to have had some refinishing and work done on it...see pictures.   I am not the best photographer but the pictures should be OK to those actually interested.  Interesting outfit.  THANK YOU FOR READING AND LOOKING.  I am selling "as is" but the buyer will have a 24 hour return option....if you think I have misrepresented the outfit or you just do not like the outfit, let me know within 24 hours after getting it that you wish to return it....when I get it back (in the same condition as sent) I will refund your money....that is what I would like and that is what I am offering...HAVE A BLESSED YEAR.  Contact me by email or phone 256-338-3184 for comments, facts from you, or questions.   Thanks, again.   Darrell  Ray  Maddox
