I also have a '59 KS, Serial # WA883,64", 45#@26, with underlays. Have shot it some but it needs some TLC to bring it back to its glory days.

Here is another '59 KS to add to the list. I purchased this recently from another TG member. As you can see in the second photo, it is marked UB 448 64" 45# and has the underlays. It looks good with the new Trap feather rest.
The serial number seems suspect as I haven't seen any others that started with a "U" listed here. It could be that the riser was refinished at some point and the original "V" or "W" was remarked improperly.

Hoof - Just added your VA611L to the serial number list on page one of this thread. Thanks for posting it.
Is the bow in original condition with the original serial number marked on it?
It is cool to finally see two consecutive serial numbers on the list...

The bow looks to be refinished. Do you know who did the refinish?
I ask because the serial number is out of sequence for 64" 1959 Kodiak Specials and likely the original numbers were not put back on the bow when it was refinished.
I have one such incorrectly marked 1959 Kodiak Special that is refinished. The finish was in such poor condition, actually it was gone, that it did not have any numbers on it before it was refinished. Then when refinished, it was marked at random, with numbers are that not typical to 1959 Kodiak Specials.
You just never know about the markings on refinished bows.
