How old would this archery bow be?
This British bow is close to 67" long.
Made in a wood that has two distinct colours; most possibly a typical wood for bows, but i wouldn't know.
The grip is covered with velvet, now quite shrunk, "stuffed" with fibers of some natural material ... rattan, hemp ?
It is marked "London 47". I guess 47 is the "draw" weight ?!
Seller says this bow must have some hundred years. Would you beleive so ?
Coments will be welcome.
