The bow is a deerslayer model and most likely made in the late 1940's.Sometimes called a "transition bow" as it was most likely made around the time Nels Grumley left Bear Archery in 1948 and when Fred started to mass produce his bows.I have a similar bow in a "Hunter" model,no tip build ups,with Bear Archery written in black on the belly,woven glass and the small running bear logo on the back of the upper limb.From what I've been told,if Nels didn't make the bow from start to finish,he didn't sign it.
