Default Can anybody tell me anything about this bow

Hi all, I have the opprotunity to buy this bow. The owner is saying that he bought in the 1960s and it was second hand then, he thinks that it might be Chzeck made. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Exclamation ??

It just looks like a factory Bow. The Stick from the lack of Camber tightened up looks weak. The best way to see and judge a Bow is in person. Just don't pay too much for it. When this was made, I am sure a pair of shoes cost more then.

Thanks Ken, you comments confirm what my general thought were. I am only planning to keep it as a spare. After all the owner only asks £20 (30/35 USD?) for it, which I guess can't be too bad for a bow.
