Is my Warok bow vintage?

[e30318is]

I have been unsure of this one since I bought it on ebay a few years ago. I am 99% sure the Lummat bow is vintage, the Warok bow has a round string, where as the lummat has more of a flat string. It is difficult to show in photos, here they are, I look forward to hearing your opinions

Cheers

Have you done the float test on it ?

Looks a bit too dark to me

I agree with Iain mate my Warok is no where near as dark as yours ( could be the photo ) and it also has a flat string like the Lummat one.

But I'm no expert.

Argh, the Lummat bow floats and Warok's sinks

Repro then?

A Google search brought up this thread from the past.

I just bought a Warok bow that floats if placed very delicately on the water but sinks if you apply pressure. I thought it's sound was OK - it didn't sound that brittle way.

Any thoughts? TIG doesnt go into tests for bows.
