Antique Italian Violin Gennaro Fabricatore 1845, complete with wear

Description

Antique Italian violin with case, probably the original case. I'm not a violin expert, but I believe this is complete except for strings and a bow. It's been well played over the years as the wear in the finish on the neck shows. No notable damage. Would probably be a wonderful piece refinished and restrung. This was going to be a restoration project for me but I just never seem to have time to get to it so it's time for someone else to enjoy it.
The label in the sound hole shows:
Gennaro Fabricatore
Anno 1845 Napoli
Strada S Giacomo n.
The absence of a building number in the address may mean that this was built in Gennaro II's home, because the factories started closing around 1845, but labels for instruments made in one of the factories should have the building number in the address. Also, smaller labels indicate that this was likely built by Gennaro himself as opposed to a contract luthier.
Well packed in sturdy box with thick styrofoam and bubble wrap. Box dimensions are 36" x 14" x 9", weighing appx 6 pounds. Shipping cost is handled by eBay's shipping calculator.
