i believe its a black hawk based on the way the handle bends and the knocks are shaped

What is the writing on the lower limb read?

Have you ever removed the leather, off of the grip?

I don't think it is a Blackhawk, but I've been wrong before.

There was a bow maker south of Chicago that made  his handles like that.

His first name was jerry and he ran Sauk Trail Archery.

I thought his bows had way too much handshock.

1059 is the date the bow was made Oct 1959.
Cravotta Bros were from East McKeesport PA right outside of Pittsburgh.
