Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Vermuthlich besass er eine Geige von Guadagnini, die er sowohl im Modell als im Lack nachzuahmen sich bemühte. Seine Arbeiten sind gute Durchschnittswaaren; am besten waren noch seine Harfen. Er besass auch eine Brandmarke mil seinem Namen. Auf anderen Zetteln ist auch »Paris« angegeben.

Henri Poidras+

Harps and violins. Fairly good work. Branded. Guadagnini model.
