Subject: RE: Paypal orders violin to be destroyed
I've seen dozens of old violins with "fake" Stradivarius labels inside them. And on eBay at that, with no claims of authenticity whatsoever. Labelling violins as such has been common practice for many, many years and no-one buying and selling these things takes it seriously.
It also has no bearing on the quality of the instrument - which may or may not be lovely to play, regardless of the fake provenance.
