TheGRIMES ALUMINUM TAKE-DOWN BOW shown here is one of the earlier ones--the label says PATENT PENDING rather than PAT.1950. It\'s about 57\" long (measuring along the outside curve) and is in excellent condition with no damage to the limbs or tips, tight \"leather\" on the grip, and a label that\'s mostly complete. The limbs have great color and the riser and limbs need only a light polishing to really make it stand out. There is no string with the bow and it isn\'t recommended that it be strung, given the age of the item--these have a reputation of shattering under pressure, so it\'sbeing sold as a display piece.If thetake-down bolts aren\'t frozen, I will disassemble the bow for shipping and reduce the shipping charges, otherwise the shipping will be as stated.
