Vintage Boosey & Hawkes 3/4 Violin in an interesting canvas covered hard case. Made abroad and marked as FOREIGN. Probably Germany or Czech Republic.
It can’t be said for sure that it is 1930s/40s but appears to be with the construction of the case and overall look and feel.
A nice and fairly easy project for someone.
