I have a 1974 catalog that has the Super Nitro for 69.95 and says it can be drawn to 32". So maybe yours is early to mid 70's.

So allowing for inflation etc. I might have a bargain at £20 ($32.32 @ $1.62/£1)& still a shooter?

As per other msg., any chance of a scan of that catalogue page please, thks,
