    Help with Date manufacture

    Hello gentlemen. I have a couple of old bows that I cannot seem to find anything on. One is Indian Deer slayer recurve and cannot for the life of me find a date of manufacture for the Indian bows.
    On the limb is a IA logo 274-60" Deer slayer 45lb 72696

    The other is a what I think to be a Martin Longbow.
    65#@28" AMO68" ML-10 4463

    Any help on dates of manufacture and value appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Tony

      Thanks...I found out a little bit about the Martin and its value.
      The Indian I am curious about.
      I also have a wall hanger, Bear Black Bear Hunter. That one says BB01238 40# AMO 58"
      It is a Grayling Bear.
      Thanks!

        I would need to see some detail for sure as that's a blended Title of two different Bow's

          I am having an issue with my PC down loading my SD cards for pics to show you.
          The one limb says Black Bear Hunter. The other has the Bear archery logo with Grayling ,Michigan. The numbers I posted before are correct.
          Thanks again.

            Well all I can help with is that the Black Bear was the low end Model but will need to see details to determine age.

                        Because of this. Stress crack on riser.

                          That's a nonworking part of the riser I'd loctite that and shoot the heck out of it

                            Good news Restless...Thanks for your help with that. I was worried that it would shatter while I or one of my kids were shooting it. So to not even blink. I hung it up on the wall at the deer camp. It has the screw in adapter for a stabilizer or bow fishing rig. Good to know that hairline crack don't mean much. Next thing is a string.
                            I appreciate your time and help in dating this bow.
