If you search the threads there are a couple of excellent identification guides for both the Specials and the Polars.

Leon,

  No need to thank me. The real credit goes to people like Wade Phillips and Jeremy that put these threads together with pictures that help us identify the different models and years of bows. As a novice collector I would be at a loss without them.
