Reserved Listing [Old Finkel] Violin Bow No. 14

Full-size violin bow
Stamp: E. ERNST (father)
(Currently stamped D. ERNST (son).)
Stamp on the back: Swiss made

A gem from a bygone era by the prestigious Swiss maker, Finkel.
The stick is straight, and the condition of the frog and pearl inlay is excellent.

However, there is one issue: the hair is thin. Rehairing is recommended.

The leather grip also shows signs of wear.
(The leather still has plenty of thickness, so it can still be used if you're not concerned about appearance. Some people with very sweaty hands even sand it down to remove a layer, and some might prefer it as is for better grip.)

All metal parts are sterling silver. The wood is a rare, dark chocolate brown.

I am open to price negotiation due to maintenance costs and the effort of going to the workshop in the extreme heat. However, this is a popular bow that rarely appears on the used market, and I believe this is a great opportunity to buy.

What do you think?
