Cool. I'd shoot them.

Heck, yes, barring too much heat or structural damage, fibreglass arrows were pretty much bulletproof. I That said, I don't think our glass arrows from those days were anything like the tight tolerances we enjoy on carbons today. Great stumpers, if they'll fly right for you...they're either straight or they're broke!

As posted on PowWow, "It would not hurt to change those nocks. They become brittle with age". I myself would have no problem refletching and shooting those. If I remember your original post correctly you may need to spine them if having flight issues.

Your fibeglass arrows look to be the old wing archery green shafts from the late 60's to early 70's. Do they have a size on them? From the fit of the Bear Razorheads I would think they are size 7 and up. I would change the nocks out and shot then with the bad fletching first just to see how the spine is. Then if they look OK I would refletch them. Don't use strong lacquer thiner on then, and don't you a lot of heat to work on heads.
