I can only think of one, and that is Csaba Grozer (http://

expensive site.

There used to be a site, where you could buy genuine Mongolian bows, but
that seems to be defunct now. Perhaps the web designer could help you:

IIRC the prices were in the 100-200$ range.

For replicas, check

I hope this helps, but by now I'm sure you've seen these.

From this page you can see a few different legacy bow makers, and Google
each name if you like.
