Inherited from a relative. The label is faded; only 'Germany' is legible.

Measurements: body 356mm, upper 168mm, middle 112mm, lower 208mm. Flamed two-piece maple back, straight-grain spruce top. Deeply cut scroll, orange-brown varnish with natural craquelure.

Questions:
1. From the measurements and workmanship, what period and tier of German workshop violin is this?
2. Bridge and soundpost are old — should both be replaced?
3. If I were to sell, what would be a realistic range?
