It is 100% Syrian (it also says so on the label) and I think the man's name is:
Michel (Michael) Masabni (I believe but maybe I missed the writing)

That is correct, the maker is Michel Masabni and the location is indicated as "Sham Saroujeh Market". The year is hand written in the 3rd picture and
is 1925.

I'm betting it could be restored to be a beautiful instrument again...
