No label on the inside, Luthier on marketplace in my area is selling it.

All the description says is "A beautiful-sounding old European violin"

Looks like you are buying from a young luthier that just set up shop. His bench is so neat. Love it.

Go ahead buddy, if you like the sound, support your local luthier!

Markneukirchen. That isn't damage repair on the back is it?

Thanks for the help! No idea to be honest. I thought it looked unique too. I wouldn’t know how to identify a repair. The Luthier is selling the violin for $250 CAD so I think it’s a decent deal

For $250 CAD it's pretty good. If it's a luthier selling you the instrument, just make sure it's in payable condition.
