Bjorn - Yes, Doc really worked some magic on your Type II.
There have been a few Type III Dogleg Magnums show up once in a while but just not many of the Type I or II as they were recalled to the factory so not many remained in circulation.
During the 1960s, on one of his frequent trips up to the Bear Factory in Grayling, Floyd Eccleston picked up a big pile of the returned Type I and Type II Dogleg Magnums. Those are the bows that Floyd used to make his famous Bow Lamps.
Although you cannot clearly see the bows in the photograph below to identify them, this is one of Floyd's Famous Dogleg Magnum Bow Lamps that he donated as the grand prize in the 1979 ABCC Raffle at the Bowhunter Nationals at Clinton, Indiana. Floyd raised a pile of money for the ABCC with that donation. Bow collectors really wanted those Doglegs for their collections as the Type I and Type II were even rarer 31 years ago than they are today.
Floyd also used a couple of the Type I Mags for door handles inside his shop, which used to drive some Bear bows collectors even more crazy than they are normally. After Floyd's death in 1999, his son Rich found the unused stash of 63 Magnums in the attic above Floyd's Chippewa Archery Shop in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.
I sold those Type I & II Doglegs for Rich. That's when I first discovered that the Type II was made with both an I-Beam riser and Solid Wood riser.
