Rick - That is a an exceptional arrow tube with the Krohn's Archery Tackle Mfg. Co. label on it. I have some of Cliff Krohn's bows, his fish points, and one of his personal hunting arrows that he signed.

Cliff's arrow does not have any marking with his company name on it. Have you ever seen a Krohn arrow with a water transfer decal, an ink stamp, or a brand on it?

I have quite a few 1920s to 1950s wooden arrows that are marked with decals, ink stamps or brands and always looking for ones I don't have.

There isn't much interest in collecting old marked arrows, and no really good reference documentation is available listing all of those old 1920s to 1950s wood arrows that were made with the manufacturer's markings.

It may be time to start a thread about the old  1920s to 1950s marked arrows. I'm sure we would all learn a lot about the arrows that were produced during that golden era of archery.

If anyone out there is interested in the micro flight arrows above I would be interested in trading for some Bear arrows or something.

Mike, I have 17 # 5's that are in good shape but need re-fletching.  Don't have a use for them if you want to trade something.  also have a dozen #2's some 8's, 6's and 9's.

Don't have any Microflights, but I do have, and use M J Log's.  I think I have 6-11.

any help would be apreciated

Dustin you should be able to tell if the shafts say Microflite.  The number will be directly behind them.  Reference Wade's pic earlier in this thread.
