several different brands most of them from England but Martin archery also sold one called an Appolo I beleave.Funny thing is they shot fairly well and I once seen one with a 70# draw weight I bet that one did not shoot to good bd

I have a few of that type of bow but its really hard to tell without a picture.Par X--Made them Ivanhoe--Stream Eze--& Grimes....The only one I have with the wood handle & horn knocks is a Stream Eze.Not sure but I think Stream Eze was made around Jackson Michigan.The bow I have has round limbs with a flat back--wooden grip - horn knocks & its a takedown model...

The Stream eze would pull apart at the handle, it was a takedown model. It sounds like a stream eze.I have seen them with wood and cork handles.
