Found griz need help dating it.
« on: February 09, 2013, 03:56:00 PM »
Hey guys I was out at a gun show today and came across a late 50s early 60s grizzly it is factory camo green with brown  and a leather wrap handle. But the weird thing is that it isn't marked with a serial number just has the bows length at 62" and weight and 45# and has a star stamp just above the specs. The bow has a coin as well any info would be greatly appreciated thanks. Drew ps I would post pictures but I'm smartphone illiterate

They made two versions of the camo in 1961. The leaf pattern was the earlier model.

No serial # and a star stamp probably a salesman
Sample bow.
Their great shooting bows btw.
Great pics showing the 2 examples of camo Jack.
