Par-X is my best guess but I have been unable to find a pic where it shows the two screws vertical.

Actually, with the aluminum limbs, I wasn't planning to shoot it. I might. I like those fine tips.

Not sure of manufacturer but I own one just like yours.

I had a parx years ago. Fifty eight years actually. It was given to me by an uncle who got it for his first archery hunt in the early '50's.

It was a doggy shooter. I think about 55# but any of my current 45# pound bows are quicker.

The stories about limbs breaking and schwacking the shooter had me putting it aside. Don't know what became of it.

Yep, a lot of warnings on the breakage out there. I have no idea on the weight, as there is no writing left...just the remnants of a red and gold decal.

Give a pic of the decal remnants, it may help. I doesn't look like Grimes, but if it was they often engraved the specs on the side of the limb butt.

Not much of it left but here it is. I see no engraving as it is. I was going to try breaking it down and cleaning it up like Batman suggested, so I will be able to see if there is anything deeper down in the handle. I have been hesitant to crank on those screws though.

...and here is a pic I found online, which I thought looked similar.

I broke it down and the limb butts have 0 51 and 1192 beneath that. The rise had engraving on the lower right side; specs written as 55# 28" and 58". It also had the 1192 on it. Those handles are hollow. Each limb has the two screws and two alignment pins inside plus a snug fit to the handle.

Cleaned up Batman, new string and flinging arrows.

Very cool. I’ve had one of those hanging in my basement for years, have always been afraid to shoot it.
