This bow was made by Dominique Peccatte, although the frog and button were made by his brother, Francois Peccatte.  The bow is in very good, but not perfect condition.  The quality and beauty of the wood is first class, and there is no damage to the head or the stick itself, except under the silver grip, where the stick has been grafted.  There is a mild twist to the stick, which does not seem to be detrimental to the performance.  There are no cracks in the frog, but there is wear to the thumb-projection from many decades of playing.  The bow weighs 71.3 grams.
