Harmand, or someone else. Unfortunately, none of us saw the bow when it was carried out of the maker's shop. I think the era and country of origin are correct.

J. Harmand (1793-1862).<br />To assess the frog and button, I would have to see it in person.Gennady Filimonovhttp://www.filimonovfineviolins.comnoreply@blogger.com
