Drew, pics would be way more benifitial than numbers if you have any. Riser material would also help if no pics. Also the coin, whether it's inlaid or surface mounted.

Drew- so far the post 1970 model Bears haven't achieved quite the same collector status as the older bows-yet- and the serial numbers are as easily used for dating as the 1965-1969 models. What Kenny said should get you dated pretty quick on this forum. Even though they haven't gotten the same attention as older models, the seventies bows are good shooters and will gain in value IMO. If you can post a pic someone here will nail the year for you in a couple minutes. Good luck,  Grant

No pics of them yet...I was trying to get an idea of the years, as the guy wants to sell a group of 7 bows.
I only have interest in one or two, the rest I would sell off.

My Grizzly #KR91967 with raised silvery (Aluminium?) medaillon was said to be have been bought in 1971, but if that's true I cannot tell.
She's in need of repair (still), but my 1974 Super Grizzly sure is a nice shooter! The only Bear I could afford so far, but never regrettet the buy one minute.
… if that helps ;-)
