THIS SALE IS FOR A RARE VINTAGE SOFIAN ZAPF VIOLIN BOW THAT WAS MADE IN GERMANY. THIS UNIQUE BOW HAS A SOUND OCTAGON SHAPE FROM THE TIP OF THE BUTTON SCREW TO THE END OF THE THUMBGRIP/LAPPING. IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL INLAID MOTHER OF PEARL FROG AND PASTILLE AND A SILVERED FERRULE AND BUTTON SCREW. THE BOW HAIR IS NEAR MINT AND LOOKS NEAR NEW. THE STICK ITSELF IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH MINIMAL
DISCOLORATION AROUND THE HEAD AREA. I DID NOT CLEAN THIS ITEM BECAUSE SOME COLLECTORS PREFER TO DO IT THEMSELVES. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE READ BELOW:

- Length from the tip of the Button Screw to the end of the Head/Head Plate = 27 1/4 TO 27 1/2 INCHES LONG
- The Ferrule and Button End Screw are Silvered with some tarnish but most likely can be polished
- The mounting plate where the Frog is attached to the Stick is also silvered
- The Frog also has a 7/8 x 1/4 inch Beautiful Mother of Pearl Inlay that ends at the Ferrule with a matching Pastille/Eye
- The Stick is a Beautiful Brown Color with a highly visible wood grain running through it and very little wear around the Head
- The Head Plate appears to be in great shape as well and is holding the hair tightly as it should and is possibly made of Ivory
- The Bow Hair appears clean to me but perhaps it could possibly be brushed out and cleaned

Shipping Policy

WE RECYCLE IF POSSIBLE - Some buyers, when cleaning their items like to use a specific brand of cleaner. Some even have a set method and find it very rewarding to clean the items they have purchased so instead of using a specified cleaner I simply wipe them down with a warm cloth and antibacterial soap. Like most used items, my items MAY have light scratches, minor rubs or blemishes so everything is sold as is. If a shipping charge is required, we will charge the minimum shipping cost available for the type of shipping being used. Unless otherwise indicated the buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. If free shipping is indicated it is with the intention of the seller paying the standard fees which DO NOT include additional tariffs, taxes or import / brokerage fees. I will combine shipping if there is no danger of damage to any items and is advantageous to both parties. If you are not satisfied with the shipping method let me know and I will do my best to work with you so both parties are in agreement. All items are packed for protection not beauty. I do my best to be as accurate as possible when I try to describe everything I sell. If you receive an item that was different than described or received damages in route that were not described at purchase please contact me immediately.

Return/Exchange Policy

As long as both parties agree, I will work with anyone having a legitimate return claim as long as I know you are being truthful with me and the entire item is present when shipped back to me. However, if it appears as though an investigation is needed, no refunds will be given until the claim is settled with the corresponding shipping agency. Additionally, I will reimburse the buyer for the item cost and initial shipping fee if they paid one. Please contact me within 7 days of receiving your item. My email is wchilder@twcny.rr.com
