Need a little help

#1 Post by Kamn »

I know I'm new here and its probably asking a lot BUT Im wondering if any of you fine Gents have or know someone who has a Ben Pearson "Golden Sovereign" series bow????
What Im trying to find is a really good condition and visible decal that is on the limb of the bow so a high quality picture can be taken and then have a new decal made??

Looking to restore the finish on the bow to a like new state down the road but thought I would start trying to hunt a picture of this decal down so reproduction can be made

Cheers

I have never seen that bow so I can't help there but I bet one of the people in the bow restoration business such as bow doc or bow hospital might now a source for vintage bow decals.

No worries, I also have been in the process of restoring an old bow. Mine is a 1961 kodiak, I've been working at it for about 6 months now, just doing a little at a time. How is yours turning out?

If you need decals for your Kodiak, there are a few guys out there that have them. Let me know if you need some names or emails

My restore hasn't started, I like to get what I need and then do it all in a shorter period of time
I will post pics and a thread when I start

I'd like to see some pix of this! It would be really cool if you started a resto thread, beginning with "BEFORE" and ending with "AFTER". There are plenty of bow building threads out there, but restoration threads? Not so much.

I'll certainly be interested and following along if you do Kamn.
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
