I bought a pre owned (well)used Copy of a 1731 Stradivarius Viola and Bow from an Online 'Pawn' Shop in the UK for £90 (about $110). It came with a well used Case and I'm guessing that it might actually be about 40 years old. I have no other information than that and I would appreciate any enlightenment about it's potential age and perhaps the Country where it may have been made. I do own a new 16 inch Viola but I just couldn't resist buying it, not because of the Label (which is obviously fake) but to enjoy playing this well worn Viola for the same feeling I get when I absorb myself in an Old Book as opposed to reading the same words on a Kindle E-Reader Device. here's a link to the item and Pics...https://webshop.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/1583790/vintage-viola-with-bow-hard-case

Sorry everyone... that link didn't show the specific item I bought. I wish I could upload the 5 Pics I have of this Viola for you to have a look at.
