Broadhead ID Help
« on: January 28, 2012, 04:00:00 PM »
As I've said in the past, I am not a collector, just a "gather-er" (or pack rat - LOL). Picked these up at the flea market today, and assume they are broadheads. They have no brand name (or any printing/imprints) on them that I can find. Would be glue-ons. They weigh 91 - 120 gr (w/ 2 @ 114 and 1 @ 116). The four fins, which are extensions of the main body, are turned out at right angles at the edges (makes them look like rocket ships). Anybody recognize them as a brand, etc., or have any info? Thanks for looking.

Cobra 1953
this was the first head in my collection. I didn't know I was collecting when I got it!
It is on my list to hunt with someday. The back two blades are sharpened together so they are a single bevel...imagine that!

Thank you so much, raghorn. Interesting. I didn't notice that, though I did see the sharpening on the fins/back blades - so I went back and checked. Sure enough, that is so neat. Do you know if they were popular at all? As a coincidence, it's also the year I first entered the Marine Corps.

Thank you mullet - long time no

Thanks, mullet - long time no "talk". Yep, by the grace of God, I'm still able - and that pic was just taken in Dec - LOL.

 (LOL I also can still make double posts - but now without even using two "Enters"     :knothead:  )
