Default Bass Identification Help

Hey all,


So I bought my bass from Tom Wolfe's in Virginia about 2 years ago but have never been able to get much info about it's origin. The best Tom figured, it was a German bass from around the 1920's. No maker's mark just a repair label on the inside.

The varnish is not original and though it looks cool, it was an uneven job.

Measurements:

Scale 33 1/4 in.

Rib Depth: 8 1/4 in.

Upper Bout: 19 in.

Mid Bout: 15 in.

Lower Bout: 25 in.

Here's a link to an album with a ton of pictures of it if you are curious:

Thanks for looking and also for any info you may have!
