H I was recently given these broadheads, 130grn 5/16th shaft 1"x 2 1/4". They don't appear to have ever been sharpened as the edges are a blunt as a blunt thing. Painted a mix of black, brown and sand. I cant see any sign of a makers mark on them, I guess they are quite old as hunting with bow and arrow was made illegal here in 1965.

Those look like Bear bubble heads to me.
Worth a decent penny if they are, someone should be along shortly to tell me if I'm wrong lol

I believe your broadheads are 1975 Davies heads referred to by two diiferent names-Javelin and Diamond. They are from Sydney Australia.

Except for the color, your broadheads look similar to the 1975 Davies Diamond / Javelin made in Australia.

wadde...I didn't see your post, but it looks like we came up with the same answer.
ozzy1977...I will add that the Davies weigh and measure the same as your heads.

Bowhunter That is fine, I do believe we both are correct. I might add that they are not a rare head but still nice for the collection.

Cheers people. The base colour is black the brown an sand are brushed on, I know they look rusty but I guess it was done as some sort of camo job

Does anyone know about vintage field tips? I received some on self knock arrows with others that I bought. These tips feel heavy, and are glue on.
