Title: 1960-ish Henry A. Bitzenberger longbow
Post by: pinky on April 24, 2014, 12:49:00 PM

Hi everybody,  I was searching my local craigslist to see if there might be any longbows listed. This one showed up in kalispell and i thought it might be of interest to some of you collectors who might also have an extra bow to trade.
sharing,  dana

Thanks for the heads up Pinky! It is a late 1940's bow judging by the pics; and shipping Monday.     :goldtooth:

I'm happy to share pics, I have an identical Bitz already, but I'll post pics of that actual bow when it arrives-or maybe the two of them together? Pinky thanks again for posting the link!   :archer:

Here is an update. Right now the bow is 'lost in transit' the shipper transposed the address digits 91 instead of 19. And there is no 91 on our street; nevertheless driver said 'left at door'! LOL
Even UPS is wondering 'front door where'. They are apparently trying to get a hold of the driver and we'll see what happens.

Bjorn - UPS should be renamed OOPS! Check this out:
