I believe this one is the 929th bow howatt built in 1961. Also note, it's 54" and an absolute screamer with a D-97 string and reinforced tips.

I took it from there and did a re-finish job and put some phenolic tips on.

Ok bill per your request. I say you have to get in and out as fast as possible and congrats on the riser. Hatrick, really like the tip improvement. Jim
