I have an old violin that belonged to my grandfather. It is marked Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faceiebat Anno 16 Germany. Can you tell me about it and its value?

The Stradivarius set the standard for luthiers ever since the 1600s, so the fact that it is a Stradivarius alone makes it incredibly valuable. Be wary, though, as many luthiers tried to pass off their violins for Stradivari over the years. It is quite an early one (most were made in the 1700s) and it is very unusual to see it marked as German as Stradivarius was an Italian. I would definitely seek out an antiques expert and get a valuation.
To check if it is a real Stradivarius, look for the crest. It has two strange fish on it, separated by a wave motif. Do not worry if there is no crest anywhere - they often come off with age, and later luthiers may have wanted to pass it off as their own. Another Stradivari crest is a circle with 'A S' (for Antoni Stradivari) and a cross in it.

Your dad found a violin and the label on the inside says Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1715 and then a cross with and A and S on at the bottom of the cross there are no other marks?
Well, what about it? I can tell you that unless it says Antonius Stadovarius replica, that it is probably worth a lot of money. Maybe even up to $10,000 if it is in good condition. If it says on the label "Made in Czechoslovakia", then it is most definitely a fake. I'm actually inclined to believe that most if not all of these Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17xx violins are fakes. --------- Most Stradivari labeled instruments are fake and a large percentage don't say copy of or replica. There are only about 500 of his instruments still in existence, so if yours is real it's probably stolen. David Lashof
