Topic: Does anybody know anything about this bow?

I saw this on ebay while looking at trident's koryo....................does anybody know anything about it?
A bit of communication barrier with the seller. I asked him the draw weight and he told me 5 lbs? hmm

I have never seen one like this.

Re: Does anybody know anything about this bow?

The make is "Dong Seon Gung" (동선궁), which I am unfamiliar with.  However, the design is like old-style Korean laminated trad bows of twenty years ago.  Personally, I think the bow is worth less than $100 (I'm being generous).  The arrows and case might add a bit, though.  His BuyItNow price is ridiculous...

It was so funny to see that "buy it now" price. I knew it was just laminated, but never saw one like that. I was hoping it was a unique find.

Thank you Thomas,

Joseph

I think that's the one that is lined with 24K gold as the backing. You know, to help with those loooong shots... Sheesh! $1200? You sure he didn't mean 1,200 korean WON? You're much better off buying a hwarang.
