The numerous cracks certainly look genuine, and I doubt the Chinese would add those just to make it look old. The scroll looks nicer to me but I'm no expert. By process of elimination I would say German.

Well it looks really old (maybe a really fine copy but I doubt it) and it doesn't resemble those Camilli I've seen (in photos of course) so my guess is german (as the 99% of the violins shown in this forum...)

the cracks are obviously not glued with hide glue, looks like elmers wood glue, which makes the violin just about worthless
