Bear Bow experts?

[Jon Stewart]

I have a bear cub with an A print over the top of the serial number.  What does this mean if anything?

Thanks,

Sounds like you are technologically challenged.  Welcome to the club.  ME2

Jack,
Did you happen to check out the photo of the Cub with the
A stamped over the top of the serial number on the POW WOW section.  I'm still wonder what that means if it has any meaning at all.

Thanks
Jon

I have no idea of what the "A" could stand for.
There are many guys around that are better on the old bears.  The most knowlegeable was a guy that is unfortunately no longer on Trad Gang.

Hoepfully, someone will be able to answer you question.

There are lots of single letters used above the serial numbers on many Bear bows in the '50s. It is not part of the serial number and I have never heard an explanation of the letter being there.

Hi guy's here's something you may enjoy.The single letter A or L Bear used and they used lots of L's in 1959 too....above or below the ser.no.weight length is also under the leather grips.It was the scale man ie inspecter that day........ happy holiday from us and ours to you and yours.bd
