Grandfathers bow

[rhughes416]

My grandfather recently passed away and one of the items left behind was a bow. It appears to be a long bow. I am not familiar with this sport at all, sadly. The bow appears to say gardino and has an emblem of a man shooting a bow and a large cat (panther?) at his feet or something close to it.. It is finished with black and brown gloss.  I have pictures available if anyone wants to help me out. I'd like to know more about it.

You can post pictures here if you want.

I'm sorry, I'm new to this. I'm not quite sure how to do that, I have pictures to post too.

You have to load them to the photobucket website first, then you can paste them on to here.

There are more pictures of the bow on the following link. I didn't want to load up one post with a bunch of pictures. Thanks!

You got me stumped. What does the writing say below the Gardino logo?

One thing you can see is that it has a low draw weight, but is not a target bow. Bows of low draw weights are usually meant for women or teens. Also low draw weights are usually worth less to collectors. My guess is that this bow is not particularly valuable, unless it is some super rare bow. It is rare enough that I never heard of it. Maybe someone else could fill us in on this bow's history.

I hope others see this then, because I have no idea! Thank you for the help though, it is appreciated.
