This is good playing German cello bow made post WW II. The bow is stamped “SIVORI and stamped “W GERMAN” on the butt behind the frog on the stick. Sivori bows were brought to America by the Scherl & Roth Company, dealers in instruments and bows. The bows were sold to many violin shops in the states from 1950-1970. This bow is in good condition and has been fully gone over here at the shop. The bow is pernambuco, round in section, nickel silver and has single mother-of-pearl eyes in the frog. The endscrew is three sections: silver, ebony, and silver. We have replaced the silver winding and leathers. The bow is in great condition, having no issues. The stick has nice strength, firmness, leans to the lighter side of a cello bow gram weight, and is a good playing bow.
