Default Question about "new" bow I picked up

I've been searching for an old recurve to use as decoration in my Man Cave and came across a Ben Pearson 335 this weekend. Picked it up for next to nothing, but it seems to be in good shape, no cracks or rough spots on the fiberglass.

I did a quick search for info on this bow, but not enough to pin down the year or string length I need - I may end up doing a little shooting with it.

It is stampedas 25lb and is greenish in color with a plastic handle, L or R handed.

Any ideas on the year it was made or what length string it takes?

From what I was able to turn up it could have been manufactured anywhere between 1958 and 1963 and takes a 50" string?

Shultzy- read a couple of the older threads here so I know what string I'll need. Should have done that first

The Pearson 335 is a Super-Jet.It's a 60" fiberglass bow and it's weight is measured at 26" instead of 28".A 54"(actual length)dacronstring will work
