Christmas greetings everyone

I would like to know more about my violin. Download a bunch of photos and help me out!

I have this old violin which I got from my father.
After seeing the word 'Stradiuarius' inside I began pondering about the origin and ultimately the value Wink

I am aware that it has seen better days, and the fact that it's almost certainly a Stradivarius fake!

Nonetheless please take a look at this album of photos, and feel free to give me some insights about my instrument, and maybe an appropriate sell price. Thanks!

Hi there,
I had a look at the violin, it's does look interesting, the one piece back interests me it looks like the stripe effect has been painted or stained on, it doesn't look natural, does anyone else agree? as you guest it's not an original, how does it sound? it looks like its set up to play.
