Picked up this bow in a pile of archery equipment someone was selling. I am trying to find out the exact manufacturer and date it. I cleaned it up, no hair rest, string and it shoots great. Very fast. It was bought in CT but there are no other markings on the belly other than the sticker from the shop it was bought in. Glass is green.

The writing in the riser says Hunter Mark I 54" 55# at 28. Serial number is vf1022

I believe that may be a Browning bow.

Looks like a Browning to me

I'm pretty sure that's a Tice & Watts. Browning never had a "hunter mark 1" model and that's not a Browning serial number.

Also, it's probably a mid 1960's vintage

I thought the same Ken but that sure doesn't look like Tice and Watts I've ever seen. It sure does look like a Shakespeare to me tho but serial numbers are wrong.

Weird length also for that model from t&w. A quick search of that model I think showed a 58" amo. It's crazy how some bows from that era all had very similar design. I have a 54" Browning safari that looks very similar to the bow pictured. I know you have some knowledge of vintage bows, so I agree with you.

The handle wood of the OP's bow doesn't look like Brazilian Rosewood, of which the early Brownings were made of and also the Tice and Watts Hunter Mark I.

The 55" Shakespeare Necedah, actually 54" AMO think the handle wood was Bubinga but not positive.

The Tice and Watts handle is so distinctively different shape than this one.

It's a terrible pic, but here is a 1965 Browning safari. It's rosewood underneath the paint. It's a 54" bow and is an amazing shooter! Very tiny tips and it has the wedges.

Hey Joe, do the tips on your bow look like this???

I'll get a pic of the tips when I get home but they are not raised at all with no reinforcement. I have scoured the catalogue's and have found nothing. I saw recently on Craigslist a similar shaped bow someone described as unbranded. That seems to be the case with this one and the hunter mark I does not match anything I have seen at 54 inches.

Here is a picture of the limb tip.

for some reason Darton comes to mind

I am interested in selling it. Not sure how to post on the classified's I don't have access. Anyone know how
I go about doing that?

I know that Colt had a Mark 1 Hunter - I'm not sure if that is one of those as I remember it having a more sculpted rather than rounded riser like your bow.

Colt made a Huntsman I don't believe it was Hunter

In the 70's Indian Archery made a Hunter

I believe it is an Indian archery Hunter bow see catalog 1974 on vintage archery org.  Indian also marked info very low on the riser like yours
