Lyon & Healy Guarneri del Gesù Copy (4/4 Full Size) 1890s–1910s - Amber / Natural Wood

Up for sale is a vintage late-19th/early-20th-century 4/4 European violin outfit. This is a fantastic bundle featuring a high-quality stamped Lyon & Healy bow, a second antique German bow, and an original vintage hardshell case.

What’s Included:

Violin (Project / AS-IS):

• Model: Guarneri del Gesù copy (Cremonae / IHS paper label inside).

• Details: Gorgeous two-piece flamed maple back and scroll with double maker stamps on the back button and top plate.

• Condition: Sold AS-IS for project/restoration. The wood body, back plate, and top plate are solid with no major body cracks, but the fingerboard is detached, and it requires a bridge, soundpost, and standard luthier setup.

Bow 2 (German Export):

• Octagonal wooden bow stamped "GERMANY" near the adjuster screw (McKinley Tariff Act era, c. 1891–1914). Good vintage condition.

Case:
