These are Howard Hill arrows from the 1930s I believe. These are hand made arrows and his handmade broadheads. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/raghorn/Ron/00_00009.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/raghorn/Ron/00_00008.jpg)

Actually these are my arrows, I have been away from the site for a while and have now returned. The arrows and the bow they came with have been tentatively traced to Viking Archery of San Francisco, who in 1938 was the distributor for Howard. The nocks are first vintage Celluloid Mid-Nocks, and were the first plastic nocks. Later mid-nocks had a cock indicator on them, these do not. The broadheads show evidence and similarities to the Earl Grubs heads which where made earlier in the 30's and more closely resemble the 1942 Howard Hill-Ben Pearson Arrow, which to date has not been found. Wade has an arrow without the head, it is stamped with both names but the head has been broken off. My arrows carry no stamp. To the best of my reasoning and it has not been documented, these arrows and heads are transitional arrows from the Earl Grubs to the 1942 Howard Hill Ben Pearson arrow.
To my knowledge there are only four of these heads in existence. Wade has two heads very similar, but he feels they are yet another version. I am anxious to see Terry's arrow.
You are welcome Ron

Isn't it a shame that those arrows and the quiver are covered with dust and just leaning against the wall!! I drool over them every time I see them and can't get Craig to anything with them to keep them from deteriating.

You might be interested to know, the arrows in the quiver that Paul has posted. The longest one white with four black bands, was Ben Pearson's Elephant arrow. The next longest was Howard's Elephant arrow, also the one pictured on the table is the same one. The one to the left of those two with white crown dip and 3 black feathers was Bob (bobcat) Swinehart's Elephant arrow.

Wonderful pieces of modern longbow history once owned by a man so many of us revere being treated in such a fashion is just flat out wrong :knothead:

In the photo, behine the arrows in the quiver, is that some of Howards archery medals? I know he won 198 straight tournaments. Just curious.
