Stamped:

This is a violin bow from the late 1940’s to early 1950’s. The bow is stamped “SIVORI” above the frog and “GERMANY” behind the frog on the butt of the stick. Sivori stamped bows was brought to America by the Scherl & Roth Company, dealers in instruments and bows. The bows were sold to many violin shops in the states from 1950-1969. This bow is in good condition and has been fully gone over here at the shop. The bow is pernambuco, octagonal in section, with nickel fittings, and features a Parisian eye model frog. The mother-of-pearl slide has outstanding multiple colors- wild, while the small eyes in the rings are traditional white abalone. The nickel silver heel on the frog is one-piece. I removed the old winding and replaced it with tan and maroon silk thread finished off with a leather thumb grip. The silk wind helped to take off some of the weight on the stick and added to the charm of the older trade violin bow. The button is made of two pieces, ebony and silver. The bow is in very good condition.
