Note:  All items in our store include NO sales tax to our US customers!Check out this beautiful Vintage W Seifert Violin Bow for your buying consideration.   Would make a great gift or keep it for yourself!
It appears the bow is made of pernambuco wood.  Has a rounded shaft then six sided by the frog.  This is a W Seifert bow made in Germany, a shop bow, probably not an individual maker.  Under the frog is impressed "Germany". 
Minor loss of the finish along the shaft.  Nice looking frog on it.  No cracks, splits or missing pieces to the ebony, mother of pearl or other materials.  The bow has no cracks, splits or repairs to the wood that I can see to report to you.  "W Seifert" impression on the shaft above the frog.    The bow still has a great finish on it.  Good camber.  Strong flex to the shaft and I can ascertain no warping, splits or repairs to report to you.  The bow has a black and antique white winding on the shaft.  Beautiful tip on this violin bow as well.  There is old horse hair on the bow, it will need to be rehaired at some juncture.
The mother of pearl inlays are in place on the sides of the frog and along the bottom.  Appears to be a silver and ebony end screw.  The bow is 29-3/8" (736.6mm) long.  The bow weighs 2.1 ounces (60 grams) with no horse hair on it.  Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
The pictures provided both complement and supplement the listing description, so please look at them very closely as well.  With old items, there is no way one can capture all the little imperfections in words, so the two media are meant to be the full description.  Only look at the pics thru a PC or laptop, as the Ebay smart phone and IPad system does not provide you with the ability to zoom in within the pics.Make sure that this violin bow meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.   The item can be returned, there is a 10% restocking fee to do so.  So again, ask all questions you have, come see in person or send a friend to see the clock on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
