Hey folks,
I have a French bow I purchased used about 10 years ago. I play German (last notes on ballads, etc.
), but I found this in a pawn shop in Minneapolis and bought it for some reason.
Two players I know who play French both agreed that it's a decent bow - probably worth $300-$400. The only identification I see is a stamp near the frog that reads "W.Germany". It is 28" long - I don't know the weight.
There is a crack in the ivory on the tip that was glued at some point. It was pointed out to me when I had it rehaired after I bought it (I wanted to try French - stuck with German). The luthier said it looked fine. Probably needs another rehair.
Anyway, I will pack it well and cover shipping anywhere in the lower 48 U.S. states for $125 via Paypal. I've done my best to find out what I can. I don't know a lot about bows. If you get it and there is some major problem with it - I'll refund your money. I'm not here to make enemies. I just want to get rid of things I don't need.
Here's some pics. I'll post a close up of the tip in just a little while. Having trouble getting the camera focused fine enough to show the repair.
