Title: Bear TD serial # TDH 319
Post by: Ryman Cat on January 20, 2012, 03:36:00 AM
Can someone date this Bear TD for me I just picked up a wood  Bear B riser with 2 sets of limbs.

The heavier set of limbs written TDL-166
60" 55 Gainsville stamped in gold on decals.

Thank you so much the owner said it was a 70's but I have no idea.

No other numbers Doc. I wouldn't be able to show the serial # it is so faint from the grip area rubbed off that I had to turn the riser sideways in the light with my 1.00 store mag. glasses to see with a Magnifier glass also a slight impression that this was the number. When I first got the bow I said the serial # wasn't there, then I got the idea let me inspect closer with magnifiers and behold I found it.

I will take a picture of the bow and post it.

Thanks guys what else do you need me to show so we can try to ID this.

I figured the 319 was the bow number and the TD was the take down but what would that H mean?

If Ks stated in early 70's could this be considered before the K and be a type I maybe?

To much wishfull thinking I have a gem until a gemologist determines and you gyus are the gemologists.
