Well there are lots of ways and there are many fine copies some that are worth good money, there is a man in china who makes the best one I have ever seen, he has a web site but have lost it.
But one of the ways is how he spelt has name STRADIVARIUS yours seems to have to many u`s in it.
I am sure a photo would sort it out, copies with labels on are very commen they fetch about £40, that is not to say that at present yours is a copy.
I hope for your sake it is not

I have pair of salt ware jars dated 1847, does anyone know anymore about them.
Casamere 24 Cobridge WB on the base.
Could the WB be William Bennet? and is it the same cobridge as Moorcroft?
thanks

If Stradiuvaris Antonius made all the violins that have been accreted to him, for the whole of his working life he would have needed 100 men working 10 hours a day to produce them.
And by the way he did not.
Put up a photo with the labels and markings, there is on very distinctive thing.

It’s not a bad rule of thumb if it has not got a full set of marks it not English yours would appear not to have.
It is also unusual to see very good diamonds set in silver yours sound old and could have been remounted
Hope this helps
