I came across a 1964? Bear Grizzly Left hand, 58″, 60# @ 28″
above the specs is 11CF113. I assume this is the serial number. It has the silver coin. It is absolutely mint.
Being a lefty myself, and having a semi-short draw on top of it, I know it is almost impossible to find a vintage Bear of this weight.
Anyway, could anyone help to date this bow for sure, and maybe make a guess at it’s value? I’d hate to ruin a true collectors item putting it through the things my other bows get during the various hunts I go on.
Thanks.
in my opinion of over 35 years collecting experience…it is in fact a 1964 model. being lefty is is a scare bird and in 60#, even moreso. BUT only a small% of shooters are lefty and most collectors shy from lefty’s except me..:D
EBay unfortunately sets the tone on value and since our economy is in the crapper.. I would hold on to it until vakluse sgo up. Right now a mint 1964 Grizz in lefty at 60#…you would be lucky to fetch $175 on Ebay..but I hear german bidders are willing to pay astroniomical $ for US bows namely Bears. Sad, but true. We collectors like to keep em in the US
