Stephen ScherrHamilton 992B Bow
I just recently purchased a Hamilton 992B. A member of another Chapter looked at it and advised that the BOW is not original. From my research I have to agree. Is there any where I can obtain a correct BOW?
Regards,
Steve

Tref YoungThat's going to be a tough one Steve, unless one of our members happens to have one and is willing to part with it. I rarely see bows on eBay, and have never seen one for a Model 10 or 11 case, as yours appears to be.
Perhaps you can locate a junker case that is going for cheap due to wear or damage, yet with a decent bow.
Good Luck!
Tref
Edit: Meant to say Model A or 11, not 10 or 11, as the center sections of the A and 11 are essentially identical. Thanks Lindell.

Terry Hillthey are difficult to find ... original.. i looked for some time before finding one without destroying another case...
seller on ebay had a ball case with no bow, but there was an 11 bow inside the case...
i got lucky...
you do have an option... i believe hugh hengar (selling as mowatch on ebay) has cast solid gold versions... not 100% sure he has the 11 ( did not when i was looking)...
trying to match the wear on the rest of the case with a bow would be a trying ordeal.
i believe i would live with it....
