Title: Broadhead ID
Post by: FerretWYO on September 30, 2009, 11:48:00 PM

I found this broadhead this year and my experiance would tell me that it is a zwickey eskimo. However it is serated and as far as I know they did not make a serated head. I am pretty sure that it is a 125gr point. It has the green paint that is on the zwickey. Does anyone have an idea what this is?

I looked thru the books I have, did not find anything that matched up with that broadhead.

My only other thought is that someone was a machinest and made the serations themself. They good but not perfect. It also appears that there is a coat of black paint down each edge where the serations where made?

It is a Zwickey, I have one very similar that I serrated myself 30 years ago with a chain saw file. I imagine the black on the edge is a for preventing rust? Does this now become a left wing head?   (http://images.imagelinky.com/1254412253.jpg)
