Evidence-led buying · Bows
Bows
Follow the stick from tip to button, then inspect frog, fittings, straightness, and camber.
Bow evidence works best as a continuous line. Begin with the entire bow on a straight reference, then examine both sides of the head and tip, the frog and fittings, grip, button, stick profile, grain, straightness, camber, and disclosed wear.

Read the label on the evidence
Complete does not mean certified.
The Exchange can require views, structured answers, ownership of uploaded media, and named specialist review before publication. Those controls improve the listing record; they do not prove authenticity, legal title, physical possession, sound, value, or future condition.
