Some photos of a long bow that was passed down to me from my Dad

Here is a few photos of an L.E. Stemmler Osage Orange/Rawhide long bow. My Dad killed a Deer with it in Colorado when he was 14. I have an old news paper clipping about it in a scrap book. I want to put a new leather wrap on the grip but I am not sure where to find leather as thin and soft as what is on it. Also I have no interest in selling it, but do any of you know if this is a collectable bow or worth anything to speak of?

It's collectable all right....people collect everything! Go to Tradgang and ask the question there. I'd say it's probably worth a couple hundred bucks tops but then I'm not a collector.

Thats a priceless family heirloom...I would leave it just like it is...i think its beautiful as is/it needs nothing...best of luck

Look up on google Glen saint charles,,,he has a old tyme archery museum..they could tell you about it..also tradgang can help for sure..
