Carl Becker German violin with label made in Berlin numbered 4694 anno 1898.  Bass bar has hand written (pencil) date of 1915.  My main instrument for 30 years, sounds nice with good volume.  Thomastik tailpiece.  Specs are exacting: top to bridge 195, projection 28, nut to bridge 328, length 356.  Original machine head pegs can easily be replaced by traditional if desired.  Slight cosmetic issue where side was buckled possibly from over tightening of the chin rest.
