Looks kind of Shakespeare-ish to me. Not for sure. Someone will be along who knows.

I have had several of those in my lifetime and my first reaction was Shakespeare. Doing a doubletake on the pics and the number sure looks like a Pearson mocel number.
God bless you , Steve

That would make sense, a bunch of my grandpa's friends used to shoot with BP back in the day.

I agree with all. First thoughts Shakespeare, but....the Special, and the way it has it's No. 730 on it reminds me of a BP. Probably 45# and a good shooter too. Make a good bowfishin' bow.

Don't know the model, but it's a Pearson. I've seen that lettering on a lot of Pearsons.

It's a Pearson Special, Model 730-I've got 2. It doesn't say Pearson on it anywhere. I got into a "discussion" with the woman who sold me my first one. She said it was a Pearson, but I questioned it because Pearson or Pearson logo isn't on it, anywhere. She said she took it from a box and there was a note attached gifting the bow to her late father, a collector and a friend of Pearson's, signed by Ben Pearson.
