2 Bickerstaffe Longbows - Oxfordshire

[TimS]

One of our (Clifton Hampden Longbow Society) members has just advised me that they were burgled at some time between Sunday (4th) lunchtime and today (8th) lunchtime - they have been away for a few days since our shoot last Sunday.

The 'low lifes' entered by way of an axe to the utlity room at the back of the property in Clifton Hampden, Near Abingdon, Oxfordshire and removed various items incluing jewelry, television sets and two Bickerstaffe Bows.

I will try to post fuller details shortly - but in overview:

1 ladies bow (slightly shorter than standard - she is only little) @ 42lb - tri-laminate Classic Bow and has the lady's name (Yaz Nash) painted on the handle with the weights and Bickerstaffes normalk signature (so they may have to deface bow to remove. Burgundy leather grip.

I Standard tri-laminate bow @ 50lb with green leather grip and a piece of snakewood as the arrow pass instead of standard horn.

If anyone spots/hears anything would be gtateful for a PM on here or call me on 07885 810679.

Thanks

I've just had a PM exchange with one of the forum's members who has spotted a couple of possibles !

Well done and thanks to the person concerned - they will know who they are but as they chose to use PM then I assume he/she wishes to remain anonymous.

I will post an update once the owner has talked to the police and we have an outcome.

It appears police seemed thoroughgly uninterested - they would "look into it". No feedback after that.
