I've got 3 bows I'm hoping to find out the manufacture date/year on.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bear Grizzly - serial #6P1059 (or 6P1659-hard to read)
Bear Grizzly - serial #8R12
Red Wing Hunter - serial #R3416

Thanks, Troy Burns

The two grizley's are [1st one]1966 and the [second is] a 1968.....someone else may be able to help with the Red Wing..

While I'm at it, I'll go ahead and see if anyone can help me out with identifying the wood in each one as well.

I think the grizzly is Rosewood. I have it's twin sister. Great bow.

Hey Bob (Wapiti Chaser),
Are talking about the top pic or the middle one.

anyone??

I'm no expert, but based on information I have researched your Red Wing Hunter is from 1963 and the wood is definitely Brazilian Rosewood.
