The body (fat-bellied Stainer or something?) and scroll look nice, but the neck looks too wide for my taste. Maybe it's just the picture, or that horrible peg setup against it. It looks like a good candidate for Wittner geared pegs to fix that. I would personally want to replace the tailpiece and the chinrest, also, but that doesn't cost much.
As always, it really just depends on how you think it plays under your fingers.
I'm afraid I have no comment on the bow.
I don't get how anyone can expect an opinion based on these few photos. I'd certainly not post pictures of a guitar and think, anyone with experience can look at these and tell me if it's a good guitar. Same with pretty much any instrument that doesn't have decades of branding behind it (like Gibson or Martin which have a certain consistency while still being variable). Maybe I'm missing something about how one evaluates a violin from afar?
Looks pretty enough, but I have pretty violins that are crap, even after a great set up makes them play like butter. A good set up does not make an instrument good, it just makes it better playing than without a proper setup. Maybe the label is real and thus the maker is known? Maybe.
