Here are some photos of my bass:

It was called French school when I bought it from World of Strings but later described as German when they appraised it. No label or other markings that we could see inside. They guess 100-150 years old. It has been refinished. Slightly smaller than average 3/4 (I don't have the measurements handy - will add 'em later). Eb neck. I'm very happy with the sound and feel.
Anyway, I thought I'd see what the collective here can add to my knowledge of this particular instrument...
