Besides even though is a knock off, it still could be valuable, and
worth significantly more that the cost of repair. Don't you watch
Antiques Roadshow? ;-)

Someone just brought one into Pawn Stars, and they wouldn't even buy it,
once it was determined to be a knock off (even if it was 100 years old).

That's worthless.

I've known some of these old imported European "knock offs" to sound and
play better than a $30,000 Cremona instrument in your local symphony
orechestra.

Worth, or value, to a musician, is ALL about what it sounds like, first
and foremost, followed by how easy it is to play ... everything else is
secondary, including what it might be worth to a pawn shop.
