All of you can stop searching for the Holy Grail of bows for I have found it.
All original (leather handle, strike plate - even the feather rest!) 1959 Bear Kodiak. Not refinished - still looks wet from 1959. It is as good to mint as I think you can ever find in a 59.

Awesome bow man. Congrats on the great find.
As far as where I got it. Johnnyrazorhead (on the boards here) put it on the auction site with a buy it now price that I thought was fair. We communicated about the bow several times. Droptine59 vouched for him - I bought the bow. Now that I got it I think his buy it now price was more than fair.
Beautiful Bow!! Congrats!.
How about some full length pics of her strung up and unstrung?

That sure is a nice bit of gear, and a great connection to the past. Have fun!
Sweet looking old Bear! Congrats!!
