I had one, it was also 56#. Attractive combination of black micarta and reddish wood,possibly bubinga. Mine didnt have the inserts on the front of the limbs that I believe was on later versions. It was a stout 56#. I suspect 69 might have been the first year, I know it wasn't in the 1965 catalog I had as a kid. I donated mine to the raffle at a shoot in Chester Texas several years ago as I recall. Maybe you have it......McK
