Double Bass Which kind of bow is it???

[bassadvisor]

Hi colleagues!
I got a very interesting bow from our friend Bassmastan, but I'm still wondering which type of bow it is.
Seems about a century old (who knows if much more...) but googling, I can't find anything similar to this kind of tip. The wood seems pernambuco and the weight must be around 135gr. Any ideas are very welcome. Kind regards. Martí.

That is what is called a "transitional" bow, the transition being the period between the earlier convex Dragonetti-style bows and the modern concave German/Butler bow. I had a nice one that an expert dated to circa 1860 which sold for $600 and now lives with a Baroque player in Chicago.

I thought these were "pit bows" shorter ends so you don't hit as many things in tight playing conditions?
