    John Dilworth+

    PITAIS Worked circa. 1725-1740 Paris France. Amatisé model. Boquay school. Slightly crude work with large corners. Coarse wood. Branded on button.

    Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

    Nach Grillet ein Zeitgenosse von Bocquay. Er arbeitete nach Amati und
    gebrauchte eine Brandmarke. Ich halte ihn für einen mittelmässigen Mirecourter,
    der vielleicht zur selben Familie wie Pitet gehörte.
