Post by: Al H on April 14, 2009, 12:12:00 PM: I think the value is around $7000.00. If I remember my Dad talking about it they were supposed to make 1000 of them but only made about 650 because they weren’t selling very well.

New A+ mint, unassembed with original shipping cartons and original paperwork are at the top end of the collectibles.

If a particular Signature Bow was owned by someone historically important, e.g., Glenn St. Charles, Charlie Kroll, etc, and that number was originally assigned to that person with the associated paperwork, that particular bow could logically bring an additional premium.
