Provenance

The Bill Terry Collection

An article in the December 1950 issue of The British Archer magazine by JCA Bowdler details the manufacturing and testing processes of the Seefab bows. The limbs were made of tubes formed of chrome nickel steel, which were then flattened to different degrees according to the desired draw weight.
