some weeks ago i played a (so-called) forster bass with the royal coat of arms on the back of the scroll.
that was a really great bass, and in a healthy state, no bad cracks at all, very huge sound.(but a little expensive imho)
but irrc the coat of arms was different from the ones i know from mr. houskas website (the only place i´ve seen that scrolls):

did forster made several different basses from this kind?
do you know anything of the bass that belongs to the above scroll?
