Day after X-Mas shopping...1962 Griz and a 1963-4 Polar

[450 marlin]

Just picked up these two clean right handers in 40#. The 1962 Grizzly is a 62" and has a Zebra wood sight window, no stress lines and is straight #15AF89
 The Polar looks to be a 1963-64 model, has green tips and a green feather rest. It is a 66" with a #13BE96, again a Zebra wood I-bean sight window,a couple light stress lines, straight limbs and super clean, they both looked good when I strung them up.
 Always nice to find some to support my quest for 1961-62 and 63 LH Kodiaks.

Thanks trap,
 
 Question? did they use different colored feather rest for different years?

 sweet!

Thats a nice pair...bowdoc

I dont think so Roy,  I've seen red, orange, grey and yellow on Kodiaks and Grizzlies and I've seen blue and other colors on target model bows.  

There may have been some method to the madness, but I doubt it.

Raineman is twisting up some strings to make them look even nicer. Looks like I'll list them after the first of the year and start watching for LH Kodiak to add to the collection..Roy

i see you got a "polar" i found one late 50's..no coin ,ex. con. 51#...red&lite brn.$ 210.00. how does this compare in cost to yours?  trying to find fair cost or am i  over paying ? thanks,50#

try a search under the classified bows on this sight, I think some of the older ones have sold on here, or try the completed listings on E-bay and see if you can find one comparable to the one your looking at.
 The two I picked up were local and at a fair price
