Albert Nürnberger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Franz) Albert (II) Nürnberger (18541931) was a German bow maker.

He was trained in bowmaking by his father Franz Albert I (son of Karl Gottlieb) in Markneukirchen. Albert Nürnberger established his own shop around 1880. He trained his son, Karl Albert (b.1906 - d.????), who also used his brand. Also later workshop bows use the same brand.

Before WWI (and after as well, until death of Albert II in 1931) Nürnberger and W.E.Hill & Sons were of the same competing standard, the best workshops in the world.

His bows are highly sought after. Original "Albert Nürnberger" bows, made before 1931 are rarer, of a higher standard and highly priced.[citation needed]
