"Bass Bow stamped Victor Fetique a Paris". That is the 'Key' to all of HIS mis-leadind Bow auctions. He uses the most famous names and people often read 'past' the word 'Stamped' as well as the meaning. I can't say that it IS Pernambuco without looking at it BUT from the reddish color and dull laquer finish over it I would guess low grade Brazilwood is also a possibility. Pernambuco would have a nice shimmer under the finish whereas the Brazilwood grade is often duller looking having a wider grain.
It is believed by many that these two woods come from the same log and that the trade names are use to distinguish the denser heart wood from the outer wider grained wood from the exact same species "chaesalpina echinatais".

I once read that 'knowledge is power'. In some ways I believe this is very true!
Can you pick the Brazilwood 'grade' from this picture?
Edit: "In the bow making business, the best quality Brazilwood bows are referred to as "Pernambuco", while those bows of lesser quality wood from this species are often called "Brazilwood"." .. Quoted from the link above.
Edit note: This is no different than buying a Chinese Bass 'Labelled' Gasparo d'Salo. With Basses most people can tell a new or fake Bass from a 200-400 year old one but with Bows it seems there is much less knowledge from buyers allowing more mis-led fraud than with actual instruments.
Stamped!
