Felix,
I've sent you an e-mail

For 10,000.00 at auction.I'am pretty certin he will not be selling it at that price.bowdoc

[cacciatore]

what about those long bow limbs forthe custom Kodiak?

[d. ward]

They did not shoot to good and Bear had problems with them.bd

[cacciatore]

That is exactly what the owner told me. Ver very slow and weak. So also if rare they are with out value? And since I don't findany LH custom TD woul you buy the new TD supreme?

[raghorn]

A year ago or so, someone had a Signature on the fleabay with a starting price of $6500. I don't believe it ever sold. The bow was a left over at the Bear plant and I don't think it had a serial number. seems a couple have sold ove rhte last few year on bbay for around $4500.
The longbow limbs were only made one year, maybe worth about $400.

[cacciatore]

Ron, what about that Bear bow you where talking me about?  Felix

[Falk]

The last Signature TD I saw up for auction in Europe did not even reach the $2000 mark. I dont remember if it had been shot once or twice but I think it was in as new condition, also being 50#. If it had had 60# or 65# to it, I guess it would be sitting in my rack now. And yes - of course - I would shoot it as often as I could      

Felix, I think your friend is nuts! If he is asking that kind of money dont even bother with sending pics. I am also sorry to say, there is no LH riser available in my vicinity.

Does anyone know where the journal is today in which Frank Scott kept track of the Signature TD's?

edit: question in bold font

[cacciatore]

Yes I guess I let my friend put that bow on auction because he really thinks it worths too much!!!

[Moooseran]

I have the list of Signature Bow owners that was given to me by Frank.............

[cacciatore]

The bow was bought from Roberto Chizzoli I told me directly from Fred,when they hunted together, and Roberto was a dealer for Italy at that time. Could it be true?

[Horney Toad]

I wanted to hunt with mine so I drilled some holes for quiver bushings and then drilled some holes for a sight. I messed these holes up so I had to drill some more sight holes.

[d. ward]

Toad what the heck are you talking about.I know better then that.No man in his right mind would ever take a drill to one of them.That would make a cool video though...bowdoc

[TRAP]

I'd sooner drill a hole in the Fing Mona Lisa

Trap..."I'd sooner drill a hole in the Fing Mona Lisa"

Hmmmm, I think maybe yer a little late, Trap... where do think that mysterious SMILE came from??    

[Moooseran]

[Falk]

Hi Moose,

I thought you may have it. However, I saw 'it' up for auction in 2007 or something. The description said it was the real thing and I had no doubts about it, knowing that sellers background. It was a hand written journal.

Did Mr. Scott kept double notes?

[Moooseran]

Falk I'm Not sure what was on **** for sale. Mine is a ledger log to keep track of these bows as they were sold and some returned..

I'll have to dig the list out and see who has or had #66 and if it changed hands at all.
