Of course after a trip to a local luthier and my teacher (very good orchestra player) to be 100 % sure.
If I end up with this bass (I cross my fingers) I will investigate further the origin ( with your help I hope  ).

AFTER you buy it? Before would be my best advice. Just in case. You don't know what's inside this bass.
Very good players are not always experts on basses and their worth or origin. Trust me on that!
