Hans Kroger Bavarian 780 4/4 2007 German Violin #8244 w/ Vintage Fine Pernambuco / Silver Bow and Case w/ Stocking The pictures tell the story. This is an excellent intermediate level to entry professional level instrument in beautiful condition. Hand made from the finest materials by master European craftsman . It comes with a vintage, fine Pernambuco wood bow. The bow metal appears to be silver (?) with Parisian style MOP, 3 piece screw. fully lined ebony frog and it appears to be 100% haired. The bow is unbranded (not unusual) but judging by the style, construction and quality is most likely a $200 to $300 price range Mueller, Bausch or Krutz. The case is solid, in like new condition and includes a silk stocking for the instrument. The violin has a very small "ding like" blemish in the finish on the back side as pictured and a couple even smaller ones on the top that are also pictured on the left side of the upper left bout towards the edge. Otherwise it seems to be in exceptionally good condition and sounds amazing. We are not musical instrument experts.
