HINTS
The McKinley Tariff Act of 1891 required that items imported to the U.S. be marked with their country of origin. In 1914 the act was revised to require the words 'Made in' to also be used. Finally, in 1921 the act was revised yet again to require that all country names occurred in English. Thus an object labeled simply 'Bavaria' of 'Nippon' would likely (but not absolutely) be from some time between 1891 and 1914. 'Made in Italia' might be before 1921.
It seems likely that any item marked 'Made in Japan' was probably made or imported after 1921. Prior to 1921, they might have been labeled 'Made in Nippon.' We also know that after WWII and during the US occupation of Japan, items that were made for export were marked 'Made in Occupied Japan' or perhaps 'Occupied Japan.'
Similarly, items labeled 'Made in Germany' are likely manufactured between 1921 and WWII. After partition the designations became 'Made in West (or East) Germany' and remained so until the reunification in the 1990's.
The essential point of all this is that such designations on a violin label, for example, clearly indicate an instrument manufactured for export to the U.S. If you have a violin with a label nearly identical to the Stradivari or other labels shown above, but it says 'Made in Germany,' it is de facto NOT an authentic Stradivari, but a factory made copy. You don't need an appraiser to tell you this.
Varnish
You can tell a lot about the quality of a violin by looking at the varnish. Fine old violins use an oil-based varnish that technically never really dries. In modern and cheaper finishes may be sprayed on and use a more volatile lacquer or spirit varnish whose aromatic chemical evaporate quickly, leaving a hard surface. While these finishes can be durable and resistant to moisture, they often do not penetrate the wood surface deeply. The result is that the varnish will flake or chip off in spots. On a good oil varnish the finish may wear down, but you will rarely see it actually chip.
