I was hoping Jeffrey might introduce a new  discretionary label of 'Honored Expert'.  I had requested that I could be 'Clueless Contributor' but he just sent me a reply with a row of question marks :). We should start a petition.

Hello everyone and  GeorgeH,

Hope you are all well.  I came across this thread and was reminded...about a bow (August Moritz Knopf) I thought I would share. It's a A.M. Knopf bow that was certified by H.C. Schmidt in Dresden. Which seems to be very similar to yours. Also the marks on both sides just below the leather looks like perhaps the  jig was too tight when it was re-haired long ago, or perhaps it had some kind of clamp there. It's unfortunate. But, there are those who do more harm than good when it comes to re-hairs.

Anyway, I've been busy writing in the last two years, about Sartory and his legal battles against trademark infringement in the February 2019 issue of STRAD. Napoleonic Bows June 2020 issue of STRAD and currently Carlo Bisiach and his US connections November 2020 issue STRAD magazine. 

All the Best,

Gennady

This bow is vry typical for what Schmidt call AM Knopf. There are only subtle differences to CF Knopf.
