Mungo,
What a find! I have an all wood bow that came to me because the riser was
separating. I fixed it and the original owner didn't really want it back (I
also made him a dozen arrows for no charge). I was told it was a lemon wood
Ben Pearson as there were no markings on the bow. With your reference I
found what appears to be that bow, or at least very similar bows. Turns out
it is 1940's vintage. How cool is that? It draws about 30 pounds and I
backed it with snake skin for effect. It's very cool and now I know the
approximate year of its creation.
Thanks,
C:-)g
