A shooting friend called me to her truck the other day at the range, with the promise of something I'd like to see.
Out came this Gordon Plastic's Prince model recurve. Knowing that I collect San Diego bows, she offered it to me on a trade basis and I quickly made an offering available.
A spare Gordon Knight model recurve secured the deal and it was promptly named "Ariel" by her daughter.
The Prince I secured was made in October of 1959 and is 66" - 45#@28" and in near new condition. You can see the vintage sight that is attached. So far, it's one of the smoother and flattest shooting Gordon's I have.
The first pic is at 25 yards and the first set with a new string.

This was a deal that worked out well for both of us. Here's Sascha with her "new" bow that she named Ariel. I made her an armguard to match the bow. She loves it!

I think I may have a Gordon bow, Jim Rebuck from J % M archery thought so. The decal is mostly gone but it says bo-core in small letters on the belly side of the riser. Does this sound right? it has many layers of laminations

You know that can't be a "trad" bow with a sight on it. For shame, for shame.
