WE Hill & Sons Violin Bow, London circa 1940

This a lovely Hill bow by Arthur Copley, silver mounted, and with its original whalebone lapping.

There are no significant condition issues, but the frog is chipped and has a repaired crack, the stick’s a bit nibbled here and there, and the silver face plate is slightly dented.
