I think you will find a variety of widths, not all the same.

I have a 53. Just what measurements are you looking for? You want a run down on the whole limb or just a base? I'll get you mine tomorrow

The bow is very narrow that much I can tell you. Off hand I'm thinking maybe 1.25" at the widest point. Its a very sleek bow and I love the look of it just wish it was a little lighter so I could shoot it.

I'm no self bowyer and I admire you fellows who do. IMHO you'll want to back this thing if you try it. Understand that a static puts a lot more load on the base and working section of the limb

I have one that probably dates from 70's and it is 1 5/8'' limb width, and has a total taper rate of .002, with two lams.Riser is 21'' I have made several reproductions also with .003 taper.

dual shelf pre 55 bow 5/16 at shelf tapers over 6 1/2" to 1 3/16" begins narrowing at 13" down to 5/8 at the point where the brush nock is attached. This is on a 62" bow

lower limb taper out over 6" to 1 1/8" runs for about 4" then starts tapering down to 5/8" at the brush nock attachment point

Typically the classic recurves began full width coming off the fades, and carried that profile for 2/3's of the limb length. The width taper is mostly in the outboard 1/3.

Basically a Grumley is the all wood predecessor to the early static recurves
