I don't even necessarily need a "realistic" answer, at least initially. I wasn't even sure what the intent of the rules for bow-ST are in this regard.
Your answer, as always, is definitely helpful.

See
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling,
Exploits p. 12. This is an appearance roll.
For this I suggest adapting the frequencies for
Wandering Monsters (
Exploits p. 95) and the rules for
With Spikes p. 6.
The chance of a specific item being available is based on the size of the town:
Small hamlet: 6 or less
Average town: 9 or less
Metropolis: 12 or less
Vaults of the Dwarven Kings, Shopping Mall of the Gods, ect: 15 or less.
Modifiers: +6 for any of the equipment listed as Basic, clothing, knives, sticks, slings and rocks, +3 for regular bows, short bows, impaling arrows, and leather and cloth armor. -3 for equipment listed as Special Orders, Magic Items, weapons and armor with a base cost of $1000 or more. -1 per quality (including "Good" and "Fine" for gear like lockpicks and toolkits) and -2 per enchantment.
On a failure by three the item is available in a larger settlement and can be ordered. It will arrive in in 2d weeks at 1.5x cost (or the delvers can pick it up themselves after a quarter of this time in travel). On a greater failure the item may be available by a custom order. Roll again with the same modifiers against appearance 12, on a success the item can be commissioned within the kingdom, otherwise it is unavailable without a quest.

The backing thing seem real.
