You may have better luck in the trad history/collecting forum.

There are two RH Colts in an antique store near me. One is $65 and the other is $75. Both are shootable but well used. Neither have green glass that I recall.

If they were leftys then at least one would be on my bow rack.

I know that doesn't help you much but that's the asking price for two near me. I think they are from the 60s. The riser wood looks like it could be Shedua but I ain't sure.

The His/Coll forum may get you better and more precise answers.

I personally like that Colt logo that says Colt Firearms on a recurve.

Thanks fellas,I'll ask in that forum. Bud,Yep,I like that too. I know that the Colt Woodsman is a great .22 pistol. I just wanted to find out more about this bow. I doubt Colt made it in Hartford,must have had someone else make them then put the Colt logo on it.

I believe Wing Archery made most of the bows for Colt. That is zebrawood in the riser on yours.

I get an entirely different picture in my mind when I hear "Colt Woodsman". Guess that establishes my age   :)
