Title: Herters? ID
Post by: foxchef on November 24, 2008, 11:09:00 PM

Picked this bow up on the auction site a while back. The seller claimed his grandad refinished the bow at some point with all of the decals and serial #'s removed. Tuned it and it shoots great. Seems to be 55/60# draw. 60" long. Just wondering if any of you could shed a litle light.  I apologize for the less than great pics. Thanks!

Not a Herter's, I have some Shakespeare's around here that look like that, but the grip has been worked down if it is.
