I wanted to share this. I havent actively collected for years but every now and then, bows come to you. If I get more than one a year, its a lot. A flea market friend who knows I collect found this for me. It was in such nice shape I had to get it, they wanted $90, I gave them $75.

The bow is in beautiful condition though I am suspect it may have been refinished. I see evidence of both it has and hasnt. Overall, I'm leaning towards it hasnt. Decals are perfect, it does show some shooting but very little. There appears to be a hole repair on the belly at the shelf but maybe a factory fix? Varnish/lamination suspect at grip but again, it just may be the way they came. Either way, I am very pleased with it, what do you think?

I knew about the Perfection 72" and found pictures of others but none the same as this one. Maybe its just me but the deflex geometry seems greater than other I have seen. I am guessing the year is 1964 +/- Any further input is appreciated.

Thanks for looking, Hope you all enjoyed it!

Sorry for bad and turned images.

Some extra research may have decoded the serial #. If I read it correctly, Its 72", made in the 02 month in (19)64, 04th bow produced. If so, my guesstimate of 1964 was pretty good!  

Nice bow! It looks in good shape for it's age!  

Yup, February '64.

Guess I'm done with photobucket!

Yeah that crazy photobucket wants to charge you, and have removed every picture you've ever posted.
