This is a total guess, but maybe a Gordon? Whatever it is, it’s sweet looking!

No guess form me on the manufacturer but that is a beautiful bow! I love the green woven glass and I own and shoot a 1957 Blackhawk Hornet with green woven glass.

Enjoy the bow and happy shooting!

Can't really say, as to make??? But, the woven glass says "oldy" (50's, maybe early 60's?)

Riser & limb tip laminations say quality!!

Interesting find!!

It looks a lot like the Saunders target recurve I inherited from my dad.
I'll have to take a better look at mine when I get home.

Sorry it took a bit to get back to you.

The bow I have is a Sanders 6 Gold Tournament model, 68” long and 42# @ 30”. Has a Sanders sticker on the top limb and the 6 Gold tournament sticker on the lower limb. Green glass and riser look the same as what you posted.

I added a couple of pictures. Not much history known on my end other than my dad had this bow since the early to mid-60s. It was actually one of the first real recurves I shot.

Hope it helps.

Definitely Sanders. I think it's a Swift, mine has a few more lams, but they varied from year to year. One of the best shooting vintage recurves I've had.

Thank You going to shoot the bow this week .

Interesting, I recall buying Saunders archery accessories in high school. At the time I had no knowledge they produced bows as well! Yours is immaculate!
