Title: Herter's Broadheads?
Post by: Zbone on December 18, 2011, 03:48:00 PM

Kinda directing this to the broadhead collectors but anyone’s advice is much appreciated.

Have a buddy that came across a 6-pack of unused, or shot, or filed on, Herter’s broadheads still in original box and was wondering collector value.

I realize in the day Herters were a popular head and plenty made, but we don’t whether to keep for collectors or just shoot them.

Herters sold several styles.  Pix would help

They made a Ram single blade and Ram MX 4 Blade. All heads designed by Bob Barrie.

They made several versions of the Ram and Ram MX heads according to Wade Phillip's book, and also a Magnum and a serpentine head.

Gary, I don't know how to post a pic from an email.

I have a few also. I shot my first bow killed whitetail with a  RamMX tipped Farbenglas arrrow. I'm thinking I will sharpen a few up and see about taking a moose with one.

I also have a bunch of those, new, and heard they aren't worth much.

Money wise not a lot. But take them out and hunt with them. good, stout, well made head. A little difficult to sharpened due to the four blades.
