Notes:

This example bears the same 'L PANORMO' brand as the viola bow, but the frog has a shoe as well as a lower ferrule and rounder throat, suggesting it was made a little later. It was probably made by one of the Tubbs family and has several characteristics such as the broadening chamfer towards the face, wide silver bands on the adjuster and white mother-of-pearl that are typical of many Panormo bows.
