Gold mounted. The son of Siegfried Finkel, and grandson of the renowned Paul Weidhaas, Johannes Finkel is a 4th generation bowmaker, highly regarded in his own right. His credentials include apprenticeships and employment with Siegfried Finkel, J.A. Beare in London, Hans Weishaar in Los Angeles, and Moennig in Philadelphia. Since 1984 Finkel has run the family's workshop in Switzerland. His bows are of consistent quality following the rich tradition of his family. In excellent condition, this bow is responsive and powerful- an excellent value for a gold bow.
