Rare Violin Stolen in 1980 Found

A stolen rare violin made in 1734 has been returned to the family of its rightful owner by authorities in the United States.

Known as the Ames Stradivarius, it was made by the Italian violin maker Antonio Stradivarius.

Owned by famed Polish violinist Roman Totenberg, the violin was stolen in 1980.

In June, it reappeared in Manhattan when a woman handed the instrument to violin maker, Philip Injeian, hoping to find out more about the gift she had received from her late former husband.
