Looks like a Colt or a Wing to me. Wing made all of the Colt bows.

I just pulled my Bro-in-law's Blackhawk Bee from the rack and it is nearly exact to that bow's riser.

Full working recurve

Weights 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 lbs

Glass Ivory-white front and charcoal grey back

Handle Polished black walnut

Confort conture grip

Brace height ?

I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford

Thank you Mr. Stout,

That is it, I do believe!  A Shakespeare from 1961...
