Just got a bow and would love to know more about it.
Here's the scoop: 68" Ser.#2552 55#
Recurve. Leather grip. Back is brown, face is green.
Questions:
1. What model?
2. Year?
3. Is the light edge on the limbs normal for that bow/age?
Here are a couple pics:

Looks to me to be a 1956 Kodiak Special
I'm thinking 55' Kodiak Special with the decal. I believe it would have silkscreens if it were a 56'.
'55 Kodiak Special.
The light edge is just where the finish (which has yellowed significantly with age) has worn off and is showing the actual glass color.
Should be a sweet shooting bow! Check the tip overlays very closely though, if the finish has worn off there they get very brittle and need to be replaced.
