Title: Palomino Date
Post by: Howattfan on September 24, 2009, 11:38:00 PM

Folks,

I need some help from the Pearson experts out there.  SER. 5-1355, Mod 973, 62" Palomino.  Looks to be a 1962 version, can anyone verify this from the info provided above? Rose wood

thanks

Dave

I guess I should finish my sentence, Rosewood in the riser and the normal Palomino laminations.  Very Pretty!  Any information would be most helpful.

Thanks

Dave

I can tell you that that model was in the 1963 catalog for 79.50 and offered in 68', 66" and 62". Only offered up to 55 pounds in 1963 in 62 inch. Beautiful bows.

The draw weight is xx50#, so I am assuming somewhere around 48#.  I have a 40# in 66" that is a dream to shoot so this one will make a nice addition. I will post pics of the two of them in the future.

sorry I can't narrow it down to the exact year but early 60's for sure. The company almost went under because of the palamino because of its popularity and they could not keep up with orders.
