Jim actually the only thing remarkable about the bow is exactly what you see in the picture. It looks like any other 64" maple sight window 1959 Kodiak

Thanks for sharing.  Looks like someone was a bit color blind while making Polars and Kodiaks.

Cool bow, what is the serial number if you don't mind me asking? Too bad about the hole, someone really wanted that coin it looks like. Nice find.

Hey Chuck they didn't want the coin. It was drilled to kiil the warranty. Has a couple 2's stamped on it too. The owner said they did it at the factory. They drilled clear though the coin and you can see where the "chuck" hit the sight window from the force of when it was drilled. If they would not have hit the coin it would have probably splintered like a demon on the other side. You could replace the coin and make that side look nicer but I never messed with it. I will get some more pics up soon. The tip overlays are both gone too.
