Title: How much is a Bill Stewart custom signature recurve bow
Post by: Thor Laizans on December 07, 2017, 12:51:00 PM

I have a signed Bill Stewart custom recurve bow. I wish to know how much it is worth.  I know Bill contributed to archery by innovation of his designs and since he has passed his signature bows have become collectors items that are impossible to find for sale anywhere.  Some collectors consider them priceless.  Signed by Bill with -Super 60"/ 00051 / 42#
Hope someone can enlighten me.

I bought mine earlier this year and paid $425 tyd so less shipping it was $400. I felt it was a fair price. It is a 54# multicam td, 62" and I really like it. You are correct they don't come up too often, but from what I have seen they don't demand crazy prices. Mine came from the original owner and had a couple of hand written notes from Bill, some news articles and one of his brochures show his entire line at the time.

Thank you for your response ksbowman.  I have had mine for around 30 years and it has it's miles on it.  Great bow. Bill is a true legend.
