Here are the photos I took at Comic Con. Hope these help! Make sure you view the full-sized versions as they are HUGE!

Looking at it, I don't believe there is a base bow. The limbs seems to be cheap fiberglass. The limb caps seem to be brass strap hinges for a wooden trunk with cap nuts covering up the screws. Heck, the other half of the hinge is directly below the top limb in that picture. The grip is held on by the same leather tape used on the handle of youth baseball bats. The other stuff looks like that reinforced packing tape that has the strands in it, then washed with a watered down bronze paint. The riser itself seems to be hastily carved from a table leg or something similar.
If someone can get me a relatively close estimate of how large the riser is, I can model up a rough version of it in SolidWorks.
Hey Art, thanks for posting the photos . Just wished you had posted them prior to last Thursday though. I got a phone call from my boss Wednesday night that I had to replicate the bow for a photo shoot on Friday with the actor.
Here's what we came up with:
It was made using an existing bow but not the same model used in the show.
Anyone figure out the bow yet?
I have freeze framed it and in the last episode it hit me! The base bow, looks like a childs beginning recurve from walmart. But the brass 'Hand Guards' 'Knuckle Dusters' I at fisrst thought it was a drawer handle. But after staring for 20 minutes. I realized I have them here at home. They are the Trigger guard from a replica muzzle loader, They cut a small peice off. But I would bet money on it. I would be glad to post a picture in wanted, But I am doing this on the quick.
Actually, I think it might be something off of a yacht, possibly for ropes when tying up at the docks/pier. It is one piece, and it's rather large, so I just find it a little hard to picture it on a gun.as for the other pieces around it (3 of them), they look like some sort of hinge, again, possibly off of a yacht, or something that could have washed up on a shore. (So as to tie in with the storyline). It's a cool bow and an awesome suggestion, it just doesn't seem 100%
You guys still looking for the name of this bow? If we are talking about the same bow I believe its an Oneida. I shoot one for hunting. Look up cponeida on google. I was ao excited when I saw it. I don't see them often and especially not on tv.
