A 3/4 1728 Joseph Guanarious violin. Bought for my mother in the 1930's by my grandfather from a used instrument store near Pittsburgh PA. The original label is intact but difficult to get good pictures of. The label claims the maker, year and Christian cross with IHS below. It also says "German Manufacture". Joseph's name is followed by the word "fecit"
