Thanks so much!
A REAL Adolf Kurt Schuster Bow (b.1890, d.1947)? Do you have pictures of this Bow to show me? How much is the asking price? This is a professional Bow or a student bow?

Does this Bow have Papers with it from a shop other than the one selling the Bow?

If authentic, it would have to be a minimum of about 65 years old. It would be along the lines of an old Pfretzschner style/school bow as he trained with one of them and another well known maker as well about 80-100 years ago.
