I FOUND THIS BEAUTY AT A ESTATE SALE HERE IN WISCONSIN A FEW WEEKS AGO.
ORIGINALLY IT BELONGED TO AN ELDERLY OLD HUNTER WHO GAVE UP BOW HUNTING OVER 50 YEARS AGO.
IT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH GOOD TIPS AND STRAIGHT LIMBS.
LOOKS LIKE IT WASN'T USED MUCH AT ALL.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
IT TOOK ME WHILE TO CLEAN OFF ALL THE GUNK AND DIRT THAT ACCUMULATED ON IT OVER THE YEARS TO EXPOSED THE NICE WOOD GRAIN OF THE RISER AND GREEN GLASS LIMBS.
COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL STRING THAT LOOKS OK TO USE.
SERIAL NUMBER 6P111555 DATES IT TO 1966
Serial Number Dating:
Bear recurve bow serial numbers can help date the bow, particularly those made between 1965 and 1969, where the first digit of the serial number indicates the year. Prior to 1972, Bear bows also feature a Canadian patent date (1953) on the lower limb, which is a date related to the recurve design patent, not the bow's manufacture date.
THIS BOW HAS NO DINGS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND. THERE WAS A SIGHT ADDED TO THE RISER.
(NOTE)! A PLASTIC THREADED PIN USED TO SIGHT IN A TARGET IS BROKE. I BROKE THE PIN WHEN I STRUNG IT UP FOR THESE PICTURES ): SO NOTED!
THE BOW IS IN GREAT CONDITION. JUST NEEDS A DIFFERENT SIGHT PIN.
IT HAS A DRAW WEIGHT OF 48 LBS, AND A 58" AMO LENGTH
VINTAGE 59 YEAR OLD BEAR GRIZZLY RECURVE BOW
IT WILL DISPLAY NICE IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS.
OR IT WOULD MAKE A NICE ADDITION TO A COLLECTION
IF YOU MAKE THIS ONE YOURS ....YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
...GUARANTEED...
.....THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY! :)
