Is the wood riser stained green, or is it a two piece riser?

Yes, 1970. The stabilizer bushing became standard in Bear bows 1971 but could be special ordered in prior years.

The 1970-1972 bows had grey glass on the limbs. The 2 piece riser means 2 different kinds of woods glued together, separated by an accent stripe.

Jerry,

 Go to recurves on the auction site. Type in Kodiak Magnum in the search box. Then look at completed listings. Should be able to find something similar. Take a middle of the road price and deduct 10% and that will give you some sort of idea as it will cost about that much to sell something there.
