Title: IDENTIFY OLD RECURVE
Post by: COMBER on May 06, 2007, 09:26:00 PM

Please help to identify an old semi recurve with green glass. I have no idea how to post pics but I can tell you exactly what is written on the bow:

Under Grip Area:   CAT.  S   974
                   LGTH.     5'6"
                   SER.    J- 456
                   WT. @ 28"  70XX

*All writing is on the lower part of the riser and nothing on the limbs*

Thanks for any help.

It is a very light color core and riser wood such as maple. The bow has no tip or riser overlays and a leather tennis style wrap (not sure if wrap is original but it looks like it could be.

Thanks,

It is a 1960 Ben Pearson Stallion. What do I win?  :bigsmyl:  It's at the top of what was advertised as production weight for that model (30#-70#) I believe that was the only year for that model in that length- 66". CKruse
