All I find is the black bear was made from 1972-1978...
Also the K at the beginning is consistent with the new system that started in 1970... The 60's bows usually have a numerical first digit taken from the last digit of the year followed by a letter and then a number. 1967 would be 7G154.  Early 60's and prior is a real collector's teritory...
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
