It is in that style in the shape and the Scroll but looks a bit on the plain side. I would guess Prague before Vienna or at least either being equally possible.

Nice looking bass. Send it to me, please..
If I decide to move it Ill be sure to let you know first

The things that stand out to me(beside the monster scroll) are the narrow F-holes as well as the lack of perfling on the back. Also the button is rather 'fat' compared to my other basses. Also with a mirror and light it seems that the end and neck blocks are definitely larger than other germans that I have seen.....she does look quite old though.
