Sorry, but I think this is not a very old item .... Most likely this is the work of the middle - second half of the 20th century.
I will be glad if I am wrong ... |

Thanks Guys, no need to be apologetic about your honest assessment!
 I've always longed for a good bow and it'd be both difficult and expensive to find something late 18th century in good condition, I imagine! So happy with this esp the string in tact, this was from a notable single owner collection. Can't imagine anybody produced bow-arrows in the second half of 20th century but I could be wrong! Thanks again folks, very grateful... Any idea which part of India could these have come from...!? |

Authentic steel bows are not common, but were used. True antique examples have very little embellishment.
