I think it mat be an earlier Berry bow.
LA Berry could stand for anyone's name who it was made for.
I don't see an ant on the limb, but there is a set of copperhead skins on this rig, so maybe it's covered up.The limb tips are decidely flipped up sharply at the ends. They look rather fragile, but I'm sure that the multiple laminations give it lots of strength....

My mistake on the name there....looks like a
stylized JD Berry with an arrow head on the tail of the 'y' in Berry and appears to be stylized fletch to the left of the 'JD'. The J looks like a 'L', but that is definately a 'D'next to it. This is on the belly of the upper limb.'Serpentine' is in black ink on the bottom limb. Tips are barely 3/8" wide at the groove.
I couldn't wait to shoot it, and it shoots very well for me, but it's hard to get really good groups in the dark.LOL. Looks like I have a JD Berry here.... soory, pics tomorrow.
