It's really not that exciting, it's more or less how I end up with most of my bows. A friend of a friend knows somebody who has these "old" looking bows and doesn't know what to do with them. So I say are they wood, and they say yes so I say I'll take a look at them and it usually turns out to be some older beat up long bow or target bow, but not this time! He actually had two both bows were owned by his father, one was a big horn in great shape and the other was this one. He did know that his father once told him it was a famous bow maker that sent him the bow 99% finished and he just put the satin clear coat on it, so I think what happend is the bower didn't want to put his name on it because it wasn't completed by him! So I thought I would throw it out to the tradgang brother hood and see if we can come to a possible conclusion of the maker.
