That's a French Scroll? With those German tuners? They look original to the Scroll. I highly doubt that is French. If the Bass is confirmed French then do a UV light test on the bass comparing the Scroll to the Back and Ribs.

I think this is the one he was asking about;



He wanted a picture of the other side of this Scroll/pegbox to look at the D-string tuner mounting to compare to his French bass..

The bass above with that wide wavy grain is typical for the Jacquet family. What is this bass above called or labeled as again?

The raised outer lip on the back is typical Jacquet as well. The Pegbox on the bass side looks like it was converted from 3 to 4 string.

The 1860 S. Bernardel looks twice as old as the 1848 Bernardel Pere'. Why or how is that? Has the 1848 been kept in a glass case all of its life? It looks barely played..
