   Not a real Since well before the turn of the twentieth century, manufacturers of violins, often nestled in the valleys of southern as well as western and eastern Germany, were producing tens of thousands of violins annually, labeled "Antonius Stradiuarius, Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno 17 " and had a circular embellishment on these labels which included a cross above the initials "A" and "S". More often than not, the last two digits of the date were penciled or inked in by hand. Sometimes it was left blank.

   These manufacturers, housed in such towns as "Bubenreuth", "Mittenwald", " Markneukirchen" to mention a few, mass produced these violins, in part by hand or completely by machine, and, until 1957, labeled them exactly as the master did. After that date, the words "Copy of" were often included on the labels.

   They were also made world-wide in such places as Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, England and elsewhere.

   Millions of these instruments exist today.

   Antonio, along with his sons are believed to have made more than 1,100 instruments during his lifetime of which roughly 512 violins are thought to still remain, depending on who you're asking.

   It is also known that many were destroyed either by fire, accident, lost at sea or floods, during the fire-bombing of Dresden, etc., which leaves virtually none unaccounted for.

   I would like to add though that even tho it may not, obviously, be authentic, does not mean the violin you have is worthless at all. Just wanted to say that too.

   I recently purchased a violin that reads on the label Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17 (in hand it says 14) Made in Germany. There is a seal image that has crown at the top with a scale in the middle and it says BRUNO at the top of the seal with N.Y. at the bottom of the seal. I would think it’s a reproduction but does not say “copy” anywhere on the label. What year was this violin made is my question.
