Two broadheads with the same design but marked differently.

Both MA-2 & Arrowmate 2 metal ferrule were made in the 1950s and later. Same head made in 4 different sizes 11/32", 5/16", 9/32", 1/4" but cutting the rear of the parts off before the head was assembled.

Made in Wisconsin.

The MA stamping is more common then the Arrowmate stamping.

Wade..thanks for the info.

I see by looking at the ABCC master list that the Arrowmate 2 was manufactured by Rose Plastics and the MA-2 was manufactured by Make-All Tool & Die.

Was this head made in 4 different sizes as the Arrowmate and the MA-2?

Yes. Guess I meant to say both were made in all 4 sizes, but wasn't very clear.
