Title: Herters CV 22 turkish
Post by: Stiks-n-Strings on July 15, 2012, 02:15:00 AM

Looking for some info on this bow.

 Herters CV 22 Turkish, Serial # 110465006 55# @28"

 It has a laminated riser that appears to be rosewood and maybe dyed maple. The rosewood is natural and the other wood is stainerd yellow. It has yellow glass on the back and black on the belly.

 I have found a little info on it but not much. I found some info on the serial # stating that the first two numbers where the length of the bow but I know it ain't 11" long LOL

 The rest of the serial # makes since of the month, year and bow # for the month but I'm not sure.

 I will post pics later.

 Thanks for any help, Stiks

I have a 47#er, I believe the woods are walnut and maple. Pretty sure that ser# indicates it was made 11-04-65. Nice bows IMO.

Here is the bow listed in the 1966 Herters catalog. Sorry, I don't have a 1965 issue.

Thanks for the help. Paul I'm pretty sure the darker wood on mine is rosewood. I'm pretty familiar with wood species and this wood is a real deep red with fine grain. I'll get some pics up here in a bit

 Killy that catolog photo is pretty cool, Thanks for posting it.

This on probably looks a lot like yours.
Not exactly sure what the 11 stands for.

Arrow that is identical to mine other than the draw weight.

Yours looks nice and clean, The one I have have still has the original string with the brush buttons. It also is in very good condition. I may build a string today and fling a few from her and see how she shoots

Definately different woods than mine, but mine's a '61. I think you're right about the rosewood. Thats a beautiful bow.
