Vintage Gunnar Helland or a German 4/4 violin good condition

Description

GUNNAR HELLAND /  OR GERMAN BUILT 1920'S   4/4 SIZE VIOLIN IN GOOD CONDITION
This Violin was sold in 2000  as a  Gunnar Helland violin by and established  violin shop.  I recently had it appraised by a Violin shop in Fargo ND the same city where G. Helland had a shop for many years and they felt it was not what they had seen of Mr Helland's  work they felt it was a german made violin from approx. the 1920's and that it was worth 2100 - 2500  I have it listed at less than  half of that price for a quick sale. It has a mark inside that says GH 47  which they felt might indicate it was repaired by Gunnar Helland in 1947 and that seems very likely to me as well.      It is a 4/4 size violin.  If you have any questions about size please verify it before you agree to purchase.
So I would guess this was built sometime between the turn of the last century  and before 1942 / before the War.  The case is a newer case  no bow is included.  I have this priced very fairly and it is priced at a fraction of the recently appraised value.  My asking price is less than half the appraised value.
