Unamed Recurve Indentification?
« on: October 08, 2012, 10:56:00 PM »

Anything? Thoughts? Clearly it appears older, so has anyone seen similar unnamed bows? Thanks

Looks to me like a Bingham kit bow.  They were not labelled.

What would one like this be worth, and did they make them this old

The guy who has it for sale says it older, im just guessing from the looks of the writing since I haven't seen it in real life.  It might be newer

Actually looks pretty well built. It is not collectible, so it is worth whatever a 26# recurve is worth to you, provided it is in sound working order. It is a bingham for sure, could be made by a person, or at one time they built and sold them.

Alright cool, I was just looking for a bow for the girlfriend and thought this would work perfect for $50. Thank you!

If it's only $50 AND the limbs/tips are straight, it could be a real bargain. Good Luck!

I contacted bingham and they said it was one of their bows that was partially made and customer finished .
