[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4365501, member: 84"]I found this violin at a local thrift store Friday. I almost put it back because I didn't see any markings or labels on the inside, but while looking at the back I thought I saw HOPE stamped at the top and when I googled HOPE violin KOPH came up. And when I looked at Koph violins I was amazed at the prices being asked for one!! Is there a way to tell if mine is real and not a knock off/copy? And if it is real how do you tell how old it is with no label? As always thank you for your help!
