Recently, I got hold of a violin bow with the nurnberger name on it. I was hoping I might get some useful opinions on its authenticity here. Origin: It was gifted to me by a friend who knows nothing about music. He claims to have found it in his family house in an empty violin case. Tone: The bow performed beautiful resonant tones much harmonic. (It's less subjective since I felt this before seeing "nurnberger" and thought it was a worthless old bow). It easily has one of the best sounds I tried despite its original hair being old and yellowed. (I did afterwards rehaired it) Appearance: As photo shows it has *ALBERT NURNBERGER* with "nurn" almost worn off. The frog and screw does seem to be original. Though the frog is strangely uneven with a 'rough' cut out part on it. Presumably done by its last owner out it his/her playing habits. The whalebone windings seem to be legit and has white markings on the "belly" of the stick. Presumably rosin marks. According to my highly unprofessional eyes, the tip suggests it's nurnberger's tourt model if it indeed is genuine. One another question I was hoping to get answer is that there is the metal bit attached to the end of stick that's not a part of the screw. Has anyone seen similar bows? What's is purpose? Maybe to lengthen/rebalance the bow? Better photos could always be arranged. Thanks to all for reading or replying to this post. Cheers!

I recently picked up this Nurnberger Violin bow that plays quite nicely. It's stamped Albert Nurnberger with an engraving beside the frog that I believe reads "W Germany". Given the West Germany stamp, would anyone be able to give an idea of when it was made? No stars next to the name either.

Hello all, I have run a small shop in Alabama for over 25 years. We get all sorts of interesting items passing through and never know what will turn up. Identifying bows is out of my pay grade. Would one of you take a look at the photos in the link below and give me an idea of what we have here? http://hmi.homewood.net/nurnberger Bob Tedrow Homewood Music
