Don't know my friend.. Looks to be a lates 1950s.. there where many unnamed bows so it may be a long shot to find the maker......  Very well be home made as well..

I have an old Wing Falcon recurve, and the riser shape of it looks like yours, and the tips also have the same shape. The glass on mine is a lime green color. Can't find any of the stamped numbers or letters on mine.

James, I agree on the Indian Archery ! My first ever bow was an Indian just like that one, probably 60's model. They were known to use solid maple in the riser. Looks like 62" length on the stamp? I would try around 58"-58 1/2". They were know for the stamp markings also. I would measue from nock to nock along the back of bow, to make sure and go about 4-41/2 inches shorter for a start. Good shootin and gift, Steve.
