I have this Nurnberger bow from a bass shop which I am interested in buying. But I want some more info on it.
All I could find on the internet is this:
Albert Nürnberger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bow is stamped 'Albert Nurnberger' and 'Germany Soviet occupied' onder the stick. This bow looks really new so I first thought it was a remake of some sort. Not sure if there exist remakes? But the seller says it is probably made somewhere right after WWII. But it looks too new for that. It looks like it hasn't been played at all. Can someone tell me more about this bow?

Can we see pictures of the tip as well?

Sure here it is. And one more of the whole bow.

If wikipedia is correct that he died in 1931 there was no soviet occupation until the mid 40's. Son maybe?

None?

It looks a lot like this one, besides the round stick:

Looks like a decent piece of wood. Slightly long? Very generic frog and button.

I have decided to buy this bow. So for now my bow search is finally over. I have tried enough bows.
