There are NO cracks or damages on this fine piece. The violin and its original shellac varnish is showing patina and authentic & characteristical signs of the time.  The neck and fingerboard (not original) were reglued in a fomer repair, we guess that the back was reglued, too. The job was well done, all is fully stable, but the neck is a nuance out of the middle and is tending a few degrees to the right.
Soundpost, tailpiece-hanger, finetuner, nut and pegs were replaced once, too The neck (shafted on snail) was modified due to scale changes in earlier times. With new strings
 
--> Please see pictures

We will ship the violin safe & secure, with lots of padding and with removed bridge
