| Silver mounted violin bow, nicely but quickly made. Possibly Markneukirchen, late 19th or early 20th century. Good-playing stick. Frog is handmade, well-finished but shows chisel marks inside. Stamped E.H. SPECIAL, BERLIN. E.H. on stamp is part of curlicue device. No other markings. If anybody is familiar with this stamp and knows either who made these bows or for whom they were made, I would appreciate the info.

| Bruce, Thanks for the comment I did think of Herrmann simply because he had so many people working for him but have no real info about this stamp. I think it likely that this is a made up brand but was hoping others may have seen it before in a context which sheds some light on the actual maker.

Hi Nathan,
I am building a collection of German bows and would like to see photos of the bow in question if you still have it. Have one such bow at the moment but as the head is grafted from another bow I can't get far with it. I have about fifty great old Markneukirchen bows, all branded and many by makers well known to me, and have specialized for many years in these old German master bows, feeling that they are undervalued and represent great opportunity for players. I might be able to assist with ID, with good photos. Thanks, Regie
