Kodiak Magnum ?

[BobT]

I found a K-Mag today at an antique store but don't know exactly what it was or whether I should have tried to haggle some on it. It was rosewood riser, 5 or 6 line strike plate, green glass, green & white grip overlays, flat pewter coin, no bushing and 47# AMO 52".
The tips were green & white overlays and fairly "pointy".
It was strung but had a long string on it so the brace height was only about 5" or so, it had a little twist on the lower limb but otherwise there wasn't a mark on it anywhere that I could find. I didn't think to write the serial # down but it was priced at $240.00, if it had not been for the limb twist I would probably have tried to negotiate a little on it but as it was I passed.

Can you guys tell me what year and should I go back or wait for a better deal to come along?

Sounds like a 1961.   I'd try to get it for $200.

Rosewood or Bubinga riser?  The gray glass on a 62 will sometimes appear green if the finish has yellowed alot.  If it's truly a 61 without any stress which you hinted it would be worth a couple Benjamins.  

Where's the antique store Bob?  I'll go take a look

Thanks fellas! I'm glad I didn't cough up the $240.00.

Trap,
I'm thinking that it was Rosewood but it was back in a pretty dark corner and I didn't take it outside, I have not payed enough attention to the Bubinga risers I have seen to tell the difference at a glance the grain was beautiful though, I will probably go back and look a little closer and maybe make an offer.

The shop is a little south of you kinda-sorta
