Title: ? On dating old bear bows
Post by: magnus on March 18, 2010, 09:26:00 AM
Is there a way to tell the date of production on bear bows by the #'s on the riser? I have a k- mag with a blue stripe n a super kodiak. I'm certain the super was from the 70's it was my fathers. The k- mag not sure about think it's from the late 60's. Just curious on how old they really are. Thanks for y'alls  help!

From 65-69 the first digit of the number is the year...easy.  Before and after that you have to look at the colors, design, coin, etc. and compare that to a catalogue or picture so a photo would be worth a thousand words.
