I have a violin with a stamp on the inside that says antonius stradivarius cremonensis faciebat anno 17. And the bridge has a printed name on it of dresden.....just wondering if this means anything?
I have a violin that says inside............Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno 17 and then a few spaces to the right is a circle with what looks like an A, something, S inside it, I think. Some of the writing on this violin is difficult to read. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea if it might be authentic? Thank you kfrbuddy@yahoo.com

I'm pretty sure your violin is worth millions of dollars and that you should sell your amazing million dollar violin to me and then I will sell your violin back to you on e-bay for billions of dollars so that you could quite possibly have a trillion dollar violin that you will never play.

my father who is 86 has a violin with antonius stradivarius cremonensis faciebat anno 17 label inside it also has a circle with A S with what looks like a cross in the midle of these letters. Are there any marks that can distinguish a real from a fake. Case is old and both violin and case smell old. His mother purchased this for him when was ten it was old then.
I hate to be the one to burst the bubble but from my research all of the original strads are accounted for. This doesn't mean that your instrument is worthless. On the contrary, if it is in good condition it may still be worth a good amount. The 17XX does not denote the actual year of the instrument but rather the year of the instrument it was fashioned after.
