I am looking at a violin. Label Aegidius Klotz, mittenwald a d 1783 (83 hand writtent) with a logo/tradmark W in a ring or O with a crown on it. Sound post is marked Wilhemi. The same logo/trademark W is stamped at the base of the neck on the back. Any info would be helpful. Most likely copy--if so is anyone familiar either with the Wilhelmi name or the Logo/tradmark W? Thanks for any help.
