It appears to be an old Cub....could be an Alaskan.  Since it is a semi-recurve, it has to be one or the other.  Probably a 1967'ish since the Zebrawood was used a lot by Bear in the mid 60's.

Wow, they had nice Zebra wood in those days and I think Mr. Stout is right.

Could it be a Tigercat?

Brian....it's a semi-recurve...look at the tips on the strung photo.  The Tigercat was a full recurve.

Hey Guys - Thanks for the responses -I  found this for sale on a local website and the pictures were all that were provided. That was the reason for my post. I finally got a hold of the seller and he tells me it is a Glass Powered Cub - 62" 45lb at 28". He says it is in excellent condition and wants $ 125.00 for it. Is it worth that?

THanks - BowTopps

This picture is from 1962 with my Kodiak Special, 66" 60#@ 28" with Zebrawood riser.

My hunting partner was Ole Trump my first beagle. He was a great rabbit dog and that was a great bow, I killed my first deer with it.
