Think you have already done a great job of identifying it. LOL. All that I can add is that it is a Grayling bow and was made in 1970 or later.

[Blackhawk]

I think later than 1970, ...maybe 1975...

is there a website or something i could go to and find the serial number and which year it corrisponded with

[Kip]

Yea mid 70's I have a bear catolog 1974 or 76 I think and the Grizzlys were two color combos of green,black and brown risers. Don,t how many years they were this color scheme.Kip

"K" serial numbers are tougher to pinpoint as there is no  defining marker for year. Generally the two tone risers are 73-74.

I'm not up on the dates as are some here, but if you will string it up,go out & shoot it you will have a ball. I have an older Grizzly & they are nice bows & a peice of history.Enjoy! Frank

I understand, maybe you could make him an offer for the whole works unless he is keeping them for sentimental reasons. Frank
