Here is a fine , round stick violin bow . It is made of high quality, beautiful color pernambuco and has a very elegant head , plain , silver mounted ebony frog and button. I could barely see it , but there is a fine old crack repair on the head, which appears really stable. The button is missing a silver ring at the end. Bow plays nicely as it is, so I have left the remaining old hair on - in purpose to test , or demonstrate play ability. Although it certainly needs re-hair , as well as overall restoration work, in my judgement it has lots of potential if being helped professionally.Weight of the bow is 57.7 grams , but a new hair and silver ring probably would bring it up to a perfect weight and balance for a fine old bow. The name stamped above the frog is AUGUST NURNBERGER SUESS. Please ask questions and request more pictures, if you need to see more details. Although I do not have a better camera, could try different angles or light , if helpful . There is no reserve. Please, bid responsibly as any sale resulting of this auction is final.
