Default Neuner-Hornsteiner?

Hi,
I would like to have an opinion on this bass, I purchased it from a private individual in 2005 and, apart from the fingerboard, bridge and endpin, it is completely original (I have its wooden endpin). A well-known luthier in Cremona told me that it is a Neuner-Hornsteiner possibly 1910/15. Any thoughts on that? Thank you very much
