  The 9 February 2013 Tree-Ring Analysis Report no B27 of John Topham relating to the violin presently offered states inter alia;
  
  "In addition the mean sequence very significantly cross-matches two sequences taken from a violin also labelled and attributed to Nicolas Lupot also dated 1816. The instrument resides at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and is part of the Hill Collection. The mean sequence cross-matches on the bass side of the Lupot labelled violin (dated from AD1715 to AD1794) with a t-value of 16.2 and the treble side (dated from AD1714 to AD1793)with a t-value of 16.4. These values and the graphical similarities as shown in Graph 3 strongly suggest the wood from both violins came from the same tree."
