Klinth, Maker; Grand Rapids, Michigan, #60; Cineri gloria sera est; 1953      (signature)".  If the Buy It Now is used, a brazilwood bow will be included, and it will be shipped in an old case regardless of how it is won.          Domestic shipping is $30 (including insurance), international bidders should email for a shipping quote before bidding.  I accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, and postal money orders.  Please be aware that if paying with a money order other than USPS Postal Money Order, the violin will not be shipped for 5-7 days after I receive payment, until the money order has cleared.    Place a Bid!
