What is the recurve? My guess is 58” Red Wing Hunter.

That leather grip is crazy cool!

That's a cool old bow. Looks like it's backed? That's a different arrow cutout too aye? Good find indeed.

That Greek Key leatherwork is really cool… That alone makes me think it must’ve been a “production” bow, but I’m probably about the last person you’d want to identify it… The minimalist “shelf” on it reminds me of a LB that my dad had as a kid…. His bow would have been built pre-war, so probably in/after ‘37, when he’d’ve been 10.

I sure wouldn’t have the guts to try and string it, though!

I’d be tempted to string it up.

It may have been common (?) back when that was made, but that is only the second bow I have ever seen, with a straight arrow groove cut into it on the strike plate. I just find it interesting since where the string nock is placed, usually brings the arrow down at a slight angle. Not straight across as that groove does. Just an observation. DANNY

Great find. That's just as cool as can be, the leather grip is awesome! Thanks for photos!
