Nope..no pictures but the round decal on bottom limb belly had "Ranger" and "Super Flight" I think.My steel wool and hand cleaner smeared that part before I could read clearly.Was thinking it might be a Wing decal around but no other sign of manufacturer. Other bow I picked up yesterday was a '67 Super Mag 48" in green impreg maple.Was that the first year to use wood and not black synthetics?? Thanks,Sack

First year of Futurewood Super Magnum was 1970. Prior to that they are black Phenolic.....which MAY have a greenish tint as the varnish finish yellows with age.

The Super Magnums came out in 1966. The 66-69 were black phenolic risers and the serial number would start with a 6-9. With the inset flush medallion yours would be a 1970-72. No stabilizer bushing 1970. Stabilizer bushing Super Mag silkscreen on back 1971 belly '72.
