Very nice. Did you argue with them that it wasn't Osage and supposed to be strung the opposite way? ![Wink ;)](http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
The string was loose, although it wouldn't surprise me if it had been strung backwards.
I informed the lady helping me that the wood was not osage. She was very helpful, but very unknowledgable. She was more of a secretary than a historian.
The bow was labeled Osage when it was donated to the Park in 1930. I doubt anyone has examined it since then.
