The eBay got me again! I just bought this bow and I'm curious if I did the right thing. It's stamped Lous Morizot, which leads me to believe that it might be a fake, but not sure. Also, the weight freaks me out a bit, unless it's just listed wrong. I'm hoping that worst-case scenario is that I paid almost $70 with shipping for a $100 fake. I'll probably try it out either way, but just wanted some input. Thanks!

If you actually get an ebay bow for $70, then how could it be fake unless it's not a bow?? Whoever Louis (Loose, Louise, Louie, Luke, Lucifer, etc.?) Mozart, Morizart, Morizot you get the picture;- is, is not too important. For $70, that is just a footnote. Beware of authenticity on Ebay. It's almost always fake. Now if it was an actual bowmaker's name that might be different. Like this Lous Morizot: Invalid Link Removed

But that eBay one doesn't look like it's made by the same hand.

I guess asking if it was a fake was a bit optimistic. I was pretty sure of that soon after I saw it. More than anything, I just wanted to make sure that it's not a complete piece of junk. Of course I'll know best after I try it out, but just wanted some input. Thanks!
