The smaller older looking violin above says on the tag inside "Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17" and then below that it says "made in Germany". If you look on Ebay, often many violins will be advertised as belonging to a deceased relative and that they are a Srad cause the sticker inside says so. They are almost always 100-150 year old copies (they may indeed be a fine instrument, but they are more than likely not the real deal). Not too many "reputable" shops would glance at one and tell someone that it is real, as there are thousands of old copies sitting in closets all over the world.
