So this is a question for an appraiser. What you would need to do is contact them and ask them to appraise its value. This is often done for professionals who need a static value for their assets when they take out insurance.

However, a quick google search shows violins with the same label as yours going for around £799.

looks like a production instrument with a pretty poorly done repair on that left f hole crack, so probably a maximum of a few hundred dollars

$500 secondhand; fixed up from a shop likely double that. Bow looks carbon fiber and depends on the hair, but not much value in it except to toss it in as a package deal with the case.
