need help with Czechoslovakian violin. If anyone can translate or knows these Instruments ?

I recently acquired a vintage violin, that appears to be of very high quality, even in comparison to my daughters school violin. It has a label, that appears to be in Czech. The words, are Salaba Bretislav Vlastini Vyroba Smyccovych Nastro JU Odborny Kouslar

Well, I´m Czech, so I think that I know what is written there. But you´ve got there some mistakes, some I can recognize, but some can´t.

Salaba – It´s last name
Bretislav – It´s first name and in Czech it´s written Břetislav
Vlastini – there is a mistake, it should be written “vlastní” and that means “his own” or “self”
Vyroba – výroba is in English “manufacture”
Smyccovych – in Czech “smyčcových” at it´s “bow” or “string”
Nastro JU – in Czech “nástrojů”, in English “instruments” so with the previous word it´s “string instruments”
Odborny – “odborný” in English “specialist”
Kouslar – this is a mistake which make me puzzled most… This isn´t a Czech word definetely, maybe there should be “houslař” and that is in English “violin-maker”

So the whole sentence (label) should be in English like this:
“Salaba Břetislav, self manufacture of string instruments, specialist violin-maker”

Břetislav Salaba was a Czech violin-maker, born in 12. 3. 1894 in czech town Semily and worked in Hradec Králové and Prague.

If you would have any other questions about a Czech language, feel free to ask me on my e-mail. Have a good day man
