Title: Help me date these bears
Post by: grouse11 on September 29, 2012, 09:43:00 PM
My aunt was given a couple of bear recurves and she refused to take them because the owner obviously had no idea what he had. She told him that she would find out about them and asked me for help on info and price.

The first bow was a bear grizzly static recurve, dual shelf, black glass and original leather grip. It does have an added bushing which was put in right on top of the poundage. It is 62" and the serial number is GH721

Second bow is a Bear Grizzly, right hand, White glass, zebrawood sight window, not sure of the other wood. Original leather grip, 35# 62" serial number 10AT8

Third bow is a Super kodiak, Black phenolic riser, black glass, left hand, aftermarket stabilizer bushing, sight plate cover?, 42# 64" serial number 7Y554

Just looking for the year and a value for each if possible.

Thanks,
Grouse11

Oh Yeah, the super kodiak comes with the original leather case, does that add any value?

I think I got the dates. Correct me if I'm wrong but it should be 1955/56 griz, 1962 griz, and 1967 sk. Now I just need to find out the values.
