My impression is that more were made in 1959 than in 1960...I have had lots of chances to buy 59's but only one chance at a 60 which I now own...refinished with serial number DD650...kind of fits for my nickname...what do you have in the 64 inch length?

This is my 1960 Kodiak in 64" length. It also has reverse limb colors, making it pretty special.

Just another puzzle from 54 years ago...was that a mistake or did someone order the bow that way...thanks for posting what may be a unique piece of Grayling Bear history

I had Bow Doc refinish it a few years ago, he thought it was a mistake that someone took out of the factory.

Just when you thought you have seen it all, something else blows your socks off , that is a nice bow.

I have two 64" 1960's, 42 and 43lbs. If I can find another really nice one in the 30's, I sell or trade about any bow(s) to get it.

I have 4 1959's in 64", 45. 50, 50, and 57. And 1 1960 64" and 54#. Got more 56 and 60" too but you did not ask about those.

Bowhawk-that's wicked!

Bjorn you were going to check the serial numbers on your 60 inch ones to see if any begin with BH...I would still be interested in knowing that, thanks

Dave, sorry I forgot about the serial numbers the closest I have to a BH is a BG. Hope late is better than never!

damascusdave · « **Reply #15 on:** July 19, 2014, 07:19:00 AM »

This search has been ongoing for a while Bjorn so there is no such thing as late, only later...just for interests sake what coin does your BG bow/s have...I have two BH bows with copper and one with aluminum...I just hope my KD has the copper coin as I think they have a rich look to them while the aluminum ones look kind of cheap...for me it does not get any better than butcher block and copper coin

DDave

Bjorn · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2014, 12:09:00 PM »

The BG bow has a copper coin and the regular sight window. Hey DD how's the moose population and tag situation?

damascusdave · « **Reply #17 on:** July 19, 2014, 12:47:00 PM »

Sent you a pm Bjorn...time to get this done

My 64" DD 1960 I have on the way looks to have an aluminum coin. I agree Dave, the copper just has a great look to it. I'll try not to complain

Just got my first
