I have a Bear Kodiak (Grayling decal) 64" 63# left hand ...serial number A  EC866 ; has brown glass limbs,light wood handle, leather grip..no coin...can
anyone give me the manufacture date...thanks ; Doug trailswesttradind@gmail.com (approximate value would be nice too) good shape

would be much better if you had pictures.

1957 would be my guess w/o a pic.

Condition dictates a lot of the value, but that heavy weight and left hand does not help.

Virtually a lock to be a '57.  

Somewhere out there is a left-handed elk/moose/sheep/brown bear hunter who knows that the left-handed Fred Bear killed a world record Stone sheep with one of these. (Not sure on the length he used.) Find that person and you can name your price.

Otherwise, it will be a little tough to move it. My unsolicited advice would be to hold onto it until you actually find a committed buyer and not a vulture.

thanks to all....I appreciate the info...

take a picture if you can, would like to see it.

I'll work on that...might take me a while though...what I really mean is it might take my wife a while...

Here are pictures of this nice 1957 Kodiak.

   

   

 

THANKS JEFF ....appreciate the help...
