Okay Mike,

why did you wrote it is an type-I riser? It has a serial above 1699 and it has the stabilizer bushing!? Am I missing something?!

Anyhow, I DO like it!
Who else?

Hey Falk..I was under the understanding that from ser# 1000 to 2000 were 1970 type1 and after Ser# 2000 was a 1971 type11. Also I thought a bushing was an option in 1970.If i'm wrong so be it, and I learned something today.as a matter of fact I lean something new about this collecting stuff everyday! Thanks for the input Fulk

So true! I learned something right now for sure. Had not noticed the bushings were an option in 1970. I can see it in the catalogue now.

In addition to the bushing I thought the grip was reshaped from type-I to II. Leveling out the ridge below ones hand. Also learned from listening to Bowdoc and/or Alaskabowhunter, that all this was done from #1700 onwards.
I really don't know - but wonder once in a while when I see a riser described different. Had an other person say just the same few weeks ago, with a serial in the A-18xx.

Is there a "definition" by Bear to it or are there just "two schools" out there?

Mike

I never heard of a Type Eleven.  Tha sounds pretty rare.

Mike,
I assume you are okay with the outcome?! WOW! Even if would have raised my bid in the end, this one would not have gone my way ...

Thank you for your bid Falk...I feel It went well
