What is the correct coin,rest and strike plate for a 59 Polar.

Thanks Terry

My 59' catalog shows a feather rest without a strike plate

Thanks 450 do you know if it had a copper coin.

Terry

I think it could have had copper, nickel or aluminum.  All correct for that period.

Reading another post Doc said that 59 polar had brass coin.This shows no signs of a leather grip so I take it that they didn't have one.The Polar is 64"-45#.can anyone tell what woods are in the side slabs and ibeam.

Thanks Terry

WOW...that is a sweet bow

Turk thats a fine look'n bow! Original finish? Sorry don't know the answer to your ?s

Thanks 450,you said the catalog show no strike plate.If you look close it shows were the arrows were sliding across the sight window leaving a small impression in it.

Ahhh the under-loved '59 polar.  That is just gorgeous!

Here is my coin if it helps, obviously my riser isn't in as good a shape as yours!:



And here is the rest side, as it arrived, which I believe to be original condition, no plate:

I've yet to see a '59 Polar with the copper coin.
Love my '59 Polar  :D



Except for the strike plate, all original and mint.  :D

Thanks for the pics guys,what weight are your bows.They are very sweet shooting bows and underrated.

Terry

I've never seen a 59 Bear bow with a brass coin either.  I'd think copper would at least be a possibility since there were copper coins around at the time.
