This strip laminated omega was made out of Oak strips by Volker in 2007. The shape is the same asthe famous Al Gerhards omega and the blank appears to be made by John Cryderman,. This boomerang is signed and it is in new condition. I did not test throw it, but I expect it to have a flight range of 40-45 metres.. An unusual collectible because of the Gerhards/Cryderman/Behrens combination of design and construction.
Volker Behrens was a well known commercial manufacturer of sporting and competition boomerang products. Volker was also a competitor and a member of the German International Boomerang Team. Volker was a pioneer in the development of long distance boomerangs and he demonstrated throws of 150 metres in the 1980s with his popular Challenger III Paxolin Hook. Volker made the last of his boomerang products in 2011 and he died in June, 2012. His boomerangs have become great collectibles because they are considered to be comparable to boomerangs made by Herb Smith. |
