330300665077 Any thoughts?
Not any good ones.
:biglaugh:
Definitely not a Grumly. The Bear logo ont he bow was not used 'til long after Nels was gone from Bear, I don't think he ever made a "CUB", and the style of the limbs and tips are definitely not his.
Although I am not that familiar with Nels' signature, I have seen enough of Fred's signatures to guess that this is not his,
Can your spell F-R-A-U-D
Can I barrow a white pen, I think there may be a "Grumley" 1972 Kodiak in my collection...
I think Grumley is rolling over in his grave, maybe not rolling but spinning wildly.
:jumper:
I have one in my basement that says "To Fred from Nels". What could that mean?
Oh come on,
Remember the Earl Hoyt Jr's personal bow,on the Bay, everything but a letter.
Raineman??? ring any bells.lol
Jim brought this one up a while back.
If a signature is all it takes, I have about 85 bows that I can sell as:
"Jack Millet's personal Bow"
I saw that bow. ASked the seller if he had any proof of authenticity. He said he would stand behind it if someone could prove it's not.
Maybe signed by Fred early on...then signed by John ? Grumley Nelly's son later ??? just asking ?? Someone else may know the sons sig a little better then I but it does look that way to me..maybe....however I've signed a many a Grum myself...........bd
I was just looking at that bow.
