the only thing bugging me about that 1956 55# kodiak is why is the shelf not painted dark brown.That must have been a later model as the most of the one's I've seen are painted brown around the shelf from the factory.That one does not look refinished...great bow in a super good draw weight........oh well time-ings not right for me to go after that one....bowdoc

Kinda looks like the limb tips have been redone in fiberglass to me.

Where's one eye? He bought it once and sent it back to the seller????

Doc, I thought only the '55 and the very early '56 had the shelf painted? I've seen a whole mess of '56 Kodiaks and Polars w/o the shelf painted.

Check out the 1956 that came up yesterday 64" 54# it's for sure 1956 cause it has silk screens....she's a painted shelf.....the 102.50 bow looks to have some kind of green paint looking something or another..maybe reflections ???? not sure.But may have been factory camo-removed.Explaining the no paint on the shelf..but the normal for 1955 & 1956 would have been to have been painted until around oct. of 1956 I believe,which was almost time for the release of the mighty 1957 Kodiak............bowdoc

Bowdoc,
Speaking strictly from a photography background, it is possible that the foliage from the tree that the the bow is leaning against could cause a greenish cast in the photos. It is very common with flash bouncing off colored walls and such, or light filtering through a colored object (like leaves), just a possibility.

Hi Frank oh yeah I mentioned that it may just be reflections.....it's likely a later model 1956 Kodiak.bowdoc

I had that one on my watch list too :D
I wouldn't mind having an early kodiak to go with my Kodiak Special. Doubt I'll bid on it though (this time :goldtooth: )
