Rick,
The HS-60 is a 1965 and the X-85 is 1967.  Both were very special shooters that needed a makeover when I got them.  Well, the USPS darn near broke the X85 in half back in the mid-90s.  I repaired it but never got around to making it pretty.  Donny did that for me.  

The walnut Widows were the most common and sometimes seem a little plain.  But when you shine these up, there's only a very few Bears   that look as good!(altho, a lot of '60s Wings were drop-dead gorgeous, too!)  As many Widows as I've had, I must admit I never expected these two to look this fine!

Love the old Wilson Brothers Black Widows. Most I see are target models. These two are certainly very nice. I see far fewer of them then Bears. Glad to hear bd is moving along well as I hope to see him back soon!!
