As you can see the tips have a pronounced curl and the bow is asymmetrical.

IMHO the original shape of this bow was not asymmetrical. I have seen pictures and detailled drawings of original Scythian bow finds - judging from them they were symmetrical. But anyway, they have very pronounced bent tips.

This is how a drawn 'genuine' replica of a Scythian bow looks like.

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

Correct.
For a Scythian archer´s impression, Grozer´s 'Old Scythian' is more apropriate, since it lacks the siyahs. I´m not so sure about the Persian´s though.
