If you have a picture (s), you will get an answer pretty quickly.  I took this picture after I replaced the leather on the grip.  Is yours shaped like this?

Are the limbs straight or do they have a curve to them?  Is that the color of the glass your's has?  Does it have decals on it?  I've been told mine is probably 53 or 54.  It measures 64"

Here is a picture that the former owner took for me.
