Attachments do NOT belong in this non-binaries group, and HTML posting is bad manners.

Please repost in a Usenet-friendly manner.

BUT....if you had a genuine Stradivarius, you'd know it. All have been identified and traced.

What you have is one of the hundreds of thousands of copies sold at Sears, Roebuck or by door-to-door salespeople.
