Help to find out if this is original Bow WEDorfler

[TMSP]

I am a student of bass, and recently bought a used bow to a friend mine.
I fear that is not original, because my friend bought the bow used and it does not have the certificate.
The stars look different from what I saw in other bows ..!
I hope you can help, I will send pictures attached.
Seems Pernambuco bow and original ?

Thank you for helping me.

I discovered that my friend bought this bow on Ebay, but now that I am afraid that is counterfeit, because I've read some things about it.
I know he bought an ad that was located in Ontario, Canada...
I'm afraid.

Although the name printed or stamped is very similar, but the stars ...

Please, if you know something, say.

Thank you very much.

Why don't you try and contact dorfler directly? Here is the contact information listed on their website: info@doerfler-bows.com

Does it play well? Counterfeit bows aren't necessarily the worst bows in the world. In fact, some play quite well. I had a suspected counterfeit Pfretzschner that played incredibly well.

Hi Peter

Thanks for the tip, but I already contacted the company and Miss Tanja Dorfler assured me twice that the bow had been made in his workshop, which was absolutely certain. The problem is that when I said that it had been bought on Ebay, answered some of the bosses, Mr. Wolfgang Dorfler that only seeing it in his hands that could give a certainty because he was not completely convinced. I was confused!
Therefore, it is ordered that the opinion here.

Thank's.
