ID a bow

[Lin Rhea]

I have had a recurve on one of my gun racks for about 25 years, but never took an interest in it till lately. Now I'd like to know who made it and if it's a good bow.
 
   It's in good shape, so I got a new string and set it up to start shooting. Shoots good.

   I may have refinished it many years ago to look nice for decoration, etc. I just dont remember. Anyway, the make of the bow is not on it now and I want to see if you guys can tell me who made it.

   The lower limb has this in white:

       "Special" in script, with an arrow through it.
        No. 730 - 4'-10"

  The wood is a dark brown and the front and back glass is brown.
  I saw a Ben Pearson on the auction site that was called a Cougar and it looked a lot like it, but am not sure.

   Any ideas from what I've mentioned? Thanks, Lin

Lin, Take a picture and post it in the collectors forum.  Bowdoc or one of the many experts on old bows will ID it...Jeff

Thanks Jeff.

  I took some pics this afternoon and will post tommorow.

 Since I posted this, I found another source that shows it to be a Pearson. I was hoping so. I have met Mary Pearson (Ben's wife)over in Pine Bluff and would be glad to have a nice example of their bows. I'll still post pics tomorrow. Lin

Sounds like a Pearson Deerslayer Special
