vintage bow makers list?

Hi,
we have a vintage wood, ivory shell brass ebony bow.
Its pretty old and the stamp is almost gone even under 12x
Is there some where I can go to research vintage German style bow makers?
The best we can come up with is 6 letters. could be
Blrini
Blreni
Rlmini
etc etc.
Gary used this bow for 20 years and never thought about it much. Now he is very retired , we are selling the 4/4 bass ,It's Cezch.
I have Googled till my eyes goggled and havent found a makers site or list. Thanks
Saxon

It's a list of mostly the violin family bowmakers, and mostly French bowmakers at that. But it's a list nevertheless.

Thanks eroy and dchan.
I got a jewelers loupe and looked at it. Its definitely a
Berini bow. And its 28i/2 inches, so maybe a cello bow.
Any idea to value?
Thanks again
Saxon
