Kodiak Special
28AB120, 66", 40#
Dark wood riser and aqua blue glass
Bear Alaskan
21D60 62" 45#
Blonda riser wood and a caramel colored glass, no tip overlays and a leather grip.
I know on some of the model years you go off the first number, the K special I could belive is a 62, but not the Alaskan. Any help is appreciated as always.

Going by the first digit only counts on '65 through '69
Pictures are what we reall need.

Pics will be a week or so. The bows both have stress lines and finish issues and the guy probably thinks they are worth a mint from what the auction site has been bringing lately. Neither strikes my interest other than sentimental value. Thanks for the reply PAPALAPIN

I think the special is a 1962.
Alaskan...hmmm..1961.
-
Even without pics it is pretty clear about those two..........just like Horney called it. I just browsed the catalogs and agree.

He is wanting 380.00 for both of them and I'm not sure what they are worth. Both bows have stress lines that are 4 to 5" long. The Alaskan's leather is worn pretty bad, missing the rest and side plate, and looks like it has been drug through a mud puddle. Both have straight limbs and good tips though.

Bit high in todays market......bowdoc

Way over priced.
