I'm guessing the hand written numbers are when repairs were done. The bottom number looks like July 12, 1934.

Also, if it's an upright you might have better luck in the double bass side of the forums. The mods can move the thread if needed.

Ya that's what I thought.
1934.
Thanks for your help!

It's a Czech bass, made by a company with long tradition. The name Strunal was used for the company between 1992-2016, as you can read on their website: Invalid Link Removed

The name Josef Jan Dvořák was used for their export models.

I can't help with deciphering the pencil numbers though.

I got one of their plywood basses, it's a good reasonable bass.

I don't think the number denotes 1934. it is written 7/12, 34. I suspect it is July of 2012. That date would work with the Strunal name. In 1934 the country was Czechoslovakia, not the Czech Republic.

The 50/4 may be the model number. I have a Strunal 50/5 and a Lidl (predecessor of Strunal) 5/35.

Makes sense. 34 could be a serial or production number.
