62 Kodiak Sight Window
« on: September 24, 2012, 08:37:00 AM »
Does anyone here know if Fred Bear ever made the '62 Kodiaks with any fancy sight windows such as purpleheart or anything else?  Thanks!

Never saw one with any other type of wood in the sight window but Brazilian Rosewood, although I've seen quite a few of the 3-piece risers that have really wild grain in the center piece (which becomes the sight window), but have rather straight grained slabs on the outsides of the riser.

I saw the serial number and thought that is a 1964 serial number then I saw the tips. Somebody just pulled out an old 1962 form and glued one up.
