Buchanan antique bow question!

By

Hi! I am hopeful someone can provide me a little info, unfortunately I don't have photos to share. I work for an appraisal firm and am examining a longbow marked Buchanan Piccadilly 28. Based on that, I am dating it to 1850-1900. My question is if anyone knows if these bows were made with metal on the riser? The only photo provided by the client shows significant rust next to where it says Buchanan Piccadilly, so I would assume that's the riser ( if not, please forgive my ignorance, I am not an archer, just a researcher) but in all the photos I can find of similarly dated bows, that piece appears to have been made from leather or wood, not metal. Can anyone give me information about this? Thank you so much!!

Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...
