Arrow News on the history..

While at the ISB this past week I showed this Bultitude to one of today's leading Bass Bow experts and was told it is 'not' a late Bultitude but rather a very early example. He pointed out the Cello like features of the head as well as some Hill'ish features as this was made just after Bultitude left Hill. The Bow is stamped in the normal way but it is not numbered like many of his other Bows. perhaps it was before he started numbering them. Either way, this Bow beside being a fantastic example is also Historic being one of the earliest known Bultitudes seen to date.
