Bear Tigercat

[mahantango]

Just picked up a Bear Tigercat at an antique shop for 12$!! How often does that happen anymore? It's dirty but otherwise nearly perfect. No scratch, no chip, no holes, no twist and not even a hint of stress-cracking. Olive green back and ivory belly and what appears to be rosewood riser. Markings are 62" 44# 6U3225. I've been told that it's a 1966- does that sound right, and where did the Tigercat fall in the Bear lineup? I am not very familiar with this model. Thanks.
