Here are some photos, I've never heard of this besides Mittenwald violins. Its a one piece back, Seems to be very worn. Has a bright sound.

I believe the label says;

Michael Antoni Schafer

CKU (on the side descending)

Mittenwald

Made in Germany

Replication of Antonio Stradivari

Looking for some history or if anyone else has even heard of these??

Violin Label inside

Violin Front

Violin Back

Hello,

it is a useful, inexpensive student violin of the Bubenreuth type sold by Mittenwald violin makers - but not made by them.

Here is an example for a Mittenwald-made student violin:
