Value depends on: condition, completeness, original or refinished, color, etc.

The A's usually bring the most # though. That is an early one, I would say 1971. I am curious about the gold bears. They are usually black.

Mag risers just don't seem to carry the collector interest, but yours sounds interesting, an A riser with an early serial number (I don't think I have ever seen gold bears on a Mag riser, most are black)) and #3 limbs, makes an excellent 60" bow if the weight is  in the hunting range.

Limbs are much later, but coming as a unit is possible.

There were some light brown Bears on the latches. Mistaken for gold?

Edited after thinking about it......the light colored plastic Bears may have been on the wood risers.
