In Quicks catalogue of 1978 it is advertised as " tried and tested tournament bow, so it was around before then, and after, probably.
!971 catalogue shows nothing from Marksman, perhaps that's before their time.

can't find a specific ad. but the Forest Princess was introduced in '65 to address the lack of specific ladies/youth (up to 26" draw) bow
& implied it was to complement the gents equivalent, which i would take to be the Forest Knight.
So perhaps the latter also came out late '64/early '65 (but don't think it can be dated from the serial no.)

As you can see it's like a larger Princess or vice versa.

Value ?30 -> how much do you want to pay?

Warning: i had another one that delaminated at full-draw, even with close inspection & gentle usage it gave no signs of distress
& then bang. Basically the glue gave way at the fades & one limb came off completely.
If you don't know how it's been stored etc. - beware!
Lastly, given it's vintage i'd think twice about it being your "go to" bow - mine only comes out from time to time
& i use other bow(s) as my "go tos".
