Pictures have to be first downloaded on photobucket and then copied there and pasted here.

Moose, If you want to send it to me by email I'll post it for you untill you get the PB thing figured out.

Moose, below the picture you will find three codes.  click on the IMG code and once it's highlighted you can copy and paste the code that's in the box to the right of where it says IMG code.

I have to click on the image to make the 3 codes below show up.  

Hope that's clear, I'm not the best at giving instr.

Moose, if you go back into Photobucket, directly under where it ask you to choose files there is a dropdown menu that has the option 640 X 480.  Photobucket will resize the photos for you.

This is a photograph of Fred Bear’s elbow with a Left Hand Prototype T/D that has the glass on the belly and the accent stripes ending 1-1/2 inches from the latches. Wood appears to be Walnut, but hard to distinguish as photograph is grainy. Not sure if photograph is published in any Bear documentation as this one came to me from the vault at Bear in Gainesville some years back. This is just a small cut out portion of a much larger photograph of Fred.

That one sure looks walnut-ie to me too.One other though is that one has a much different looking grip that what the 2000 series type S.Looks as if it has a little raised palm swell.Cool bow right there thanks Wade.bd

Is that a standard or a specially designed quiver? - Simon

Looks like an 8 arrow with bolt on bottom and upper spring arm.

The proto design for the B was put into production in the origional configuration,It was produced in futurewood for a limited time ,Due to cost and time  it was changed early in production to the current design in which the accent stripe ends at the latch assembly i have a pic of some of the first B in futurewood and they are made just like the origional PROTO

Abear - Thank you for your input about the PROTO design being used on the early production B Risers.

Can you post of photograph of the early production T/D for us to see?

BowDoc - It is probably the appropriate time for me to ask if you can post of photograph of either of the T/Ds that you mentioned, the ones that look like the PROTO, that is with the glass ending 1-1/2" from the Latches. If you do not have photographs, can you give me the contact information for Mike St. John and George Johnson so I can contact them for photographs to show their bows for comparisons.

I believe everyone who has followed this thread, or may follow it in the future, will want all the facts. If in the future, other original Walnut PROTO bow surface, we should all be able to easily identify them as being legitimate or questionable. Again, finding out the real facts is my only objective in this matter.
