Good Morning. I was asked a very good question about Signature bows last nite. I will answer here on the forums in short for those who also may have this question. The question was..... "Bear handles have the serial # written clearly on it's side under the finish but it is not seen on Signature bows" except for Fred's signature and date. Great question. Aside from 0x1, early promotional photo's, there was another that hung in the museum as well with a serial# written on it's side. There must be other's. ALL signature bows have a stamping inside the UPPER socket along the rail with B-****. Without this special socket, it is NOT a complete Signature bow. My black socket Signature bow is a perfect example. Without it's Birth Certificate,"gold,serialized sockets" she does'nt exist. I call her #23 but that's only because her limbs are numbered that way. The handle is not. The limbs and case were given to me by Frank Scott. This "lunchbox special" actually belonged to him for many years before I acquired it.
It is by far my favorite of all my bows.
Fred Bear Sports Club members were also able to and some did, select their membership # for the serial # on them. Les Line had one with F.B.S.C. and Fred's signature 1982 written on it's side. Very cool. I regretfully had to pass on it when he offered to me. It is now safe in a friends collection. ..........Philip
