...and bring some pics with you...Do you know what year?

[Lone archer]

Thanks for moving it.

The serial number is K-41008 I believe it was made between 1950-53 I can send pictures if your are interested.

I am willing to bet it has an aluminum lam.

[Blackhawk]

Yep...sounds like aluminum.  Can you see a thin gold/silver line at the edge of the glass on the limbs?

I would be one to say, do not shoot for fear of destoying the bow.  Value would be about $150 for this wall hanger. (IMHO, of course...)

[Lone archer]

Yes I believe it has aluminum in the lams. Is that a plus or a minus?

[Bjorn]

On balance it is a minus-unless the bow is dead mint-then it could be a plus. The bow is not a shooter-at least not for long due to the aluminum.
If you want to sell that bow ebat is likely the best shot. Take really good pics-start and end on a Sunday afternoon and good luck!
You could try the classifieds first-if it is not mint-150-200. Mint could be 200-250.
Just my personal advice that you got for free! LOL!

I'd really like to see some pics of that bow, heard about them but have never seen one.

[Lone archer]

Thanks Bjorn.

I have pictures but they are not clear enough. I need to retake some pictures.
