Ben, I'm no authority but I would say yes. Post this on the Trad History/Collecting Forum and guys there will tell you for sure.

Ben,

The 56" Grizzlies were only manufactured 1968-70. I'm guessing your 58" Grizzly is a 1964 with that serial number. Is it zebrawood?

Rick,

Just a lucky guess.

Ben,

The Grizzlies were 62" AMO 1949-63.

Ben,

I am too. That is why I need to have one from each year to use as a reference.
