These Pearson bows are very good shooters! I have a Lord Sovereign that is a nice shooting bow.

Found out that is NOT a Contender Riser. According to Facebook, it wasn’t uncommon to make bows with what,means available that day. The riser is just like a 1969 Lord Sovereign. They had orders for Contenders so put Contender sticker on!
Maybe not a one of a kind but very unique!

model no. 1091 seems to have been used for the '67 Sovereign "Prince" ....

.... & that serial no. 173550 suggests to me it was finished in Jan '73, perhaps to clear old stock & make way for the "hyper-kinetic" limbed bows & they just happened to have "Contender" decals/stencil spare from the '71-'72 production? ;-)
