Brad Dorsey Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Nice silver-mounted bow. Unstamped Hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Alexander Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 It is bearing the Hill stamp on the other side. But there are no maker’s marks on the tip plate or under the frog and mortise that I could see. I am wondering if it is a nice German copy or an authentic Hill.

Gtone Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks John. I understand why you may have thought german copy though. Where is the pin on the back of the frog? Weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtone Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yes that is long. were you able to weigh it. I'm inclined to say it is but have to defer to the experts. How's the balance with that length? I'm sure they will be along soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Alexander Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 @Gtone. I did not end up bidding on the item. It looked like a nice stick but the authenticity was unclear and the length too odd. I reckon the balance and camber would be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
