You may want to post this in the "history/collecting" forum here on TG.   Guys like Bowdoc and others will be able to tell about the bow.

That is a 57-58 Polar worth way more to you than an **** bidder or classifieds buyer.
Go shoot that deer and enjoy the experience.

What Bjorn said (though it's a '56 if it has a double shelf) I have a rack full of late 50's Polars... love the things.

Agree with Bjorn.  They don't bring a lot of money at auction, etc., but it is a priceless item because it was your Dad's bow.
