Title: Some neat old heads
Post by: Todd Rothermel on July 28, 2009, 11:33:00 PM

Here's a few pics of some broadheads I got off of the auction site a few months ago.  Not sure exactly what they are, but they are pretty interesting.  The two on the right seem to from the same maker, and possibly also the large one on the right.

This one below I found yesterday when I was out weeding the garden.

Todd - Neat old heads.

Sorry can not identify any of them. None of them are shown as any of the over 2,000 actual size photographs in "Broadheads 1871-1971 Identification and Rarity Guide".

From what state did they originate?

Wade, the seller claimed the heads originated from Tennessee and were home made.  Based on what I see the quality, of the blades at least, seems to indicate more than a 'one-off' construction or at least a skilled craftsman.  The head on the right appears *similar* to a Hugo Buckner head listed on page H-39 of your identification guide.

Any idea as to the maker of the last head I posted?  :)
