*SOLD* Marco Raposo French Bow; Pernambuco, Silver tip, 138g, with Case, $800

I'm selling my Marco Raposo French bow since I switched to German two years ago and don't use it anymore. I bought the bow from David Gage's shop in 2004 and am the original owner of the bow. Sometime in 2005, the bow maker/repairman Ron Forrester was rehearing my bow and noticed that I had a small crack in the tip so he swapped it out for a silver tip, which he said he prefers and it ended up working really well for me. The pernambuco in this stick is of very fine quality and has a nice sound while being flexible while playing. Marco Raposo's pernambuco is also conservationist-friendly as he grows is own wood, which is nice to know as the wood becomes more rare and expensive. I weighed the bow at David Gage's this weekend and it's 138 grams. This bow also comes with a nice hard case that George Vance sells. I'm asking $800 for the bow and case and am located in Manhattan and Princeton, New Jersey. Please email me at paul.nemeth@gmail.com if you're interested. Here are some pictures of the bow:
