Thumbs up Info on Herold Jaeger Bow...

Hey Ken and Friends,

I was wondering if you had any info on Herold Jaeger bows... I recently purchased one for a meager sum, and wanted to know what you think? The frog and tip look suspiciously similar to an HR Pfretzchner I had once. While I know that the bow was imported I wanted to know what you think? Could this be a relabled Pfretzchner or maybe some kind of german shop bow? Is it even Pernambuco (looks so to me but Im no bow expert). Has anyone ever seen one before? What would it be worth?

The part where the hair comes out has oodles of gunk, but appears to be silver (it isn't green like nickel) and the slide is a really pretty abalone.

What makes me think pernambuco is that in the stick there is this red undertone to it, and the small parts where the finish has chipped looks to be red... Lastly the tip looks to be either bone or ivory, I can't really tell but it is really nicely shaped...

Did I make a big score or strike out haha! Winning bid was $45.99
