61 was the first year of the kodiak mag.It sounds like a 61,but with out pictures its hard to tell.61 and 62 had alot of k mags with the star stamp on them.

K mags came out in the early 60's, maybe 61 or 62?

Raised or flush with the riser?

I have mostly read that left over bows from the previous model year were marked with a star stamp and sold at a discount. I have owned several star stamped Bear bows from the early sixties.

The Bear salesman carried a star stamper as part of his kit. And yes they were discounted and could well have been extras from the prior year.
Bows were not typically refinished as that would be too much work, they were replaced and the defective ones burned.

monterey,

 Actually, I'm getting better. I had more Magnums but have sold off a few so I could purchase other models.
