I had no problems with customs or duty when I ordered from Grozer. The exchange rate is so good now. Best to email him and ask as I got my last bow from there about 3 years ago. I would seriously doubt if very many folks could tell the different. The Scythian has a set back riser and the I-p doesn't.The tips are a little different as well. But if you look at the Scythian bows that have been reconstructed they look nothing like the "modern" ones.

As you can see the tips have a pronounced curl and the bow is asymmetrical.
Perhaps this one would suit

Try to avoid bows with string bridges. The prevailing thought is that they did not appear until the 13th Century.
