Title: Some old arrows for you old duffers
Post by: upatree on August 20, 2008, 04:32:00 PM
Well this may bring back some memories for you "older" fella's  :D  .  I picked these up on-line at a good price.  I thought they looked good and heck I might even give them a go in the future.  The 3 blade broadhead say's BOD-KIN.  I never heard of that one but then again I've only been into trad for one year.  :archer:

Now if they only had the Locksley broadhead that looks like a 1965 Ben Pearson 4X4 with Bleeder, you could finance an elk hunt.

I used Bodkins on my first deer hunt in 1957.  :D  ...

Can anyone tell me what this is really worth?

I have no idea on the shafts and will focus only on the broadheads. What you have are five 1964 model Bear Razorheads. Considered the most produced broadhead ever. Good head, but no collectors value per se.

The Bod-Kin heads you have appear to be similar in shape and construction to the common M-A3-L. The pic is blurred, but the edge looks convex to me and only the very first Bod-Kin made, would have a convex edge AND a double layer edge.
They started this head in 1946. Heads from that year would have the name BOD<>KIN separatet by a diamond. In 1947 it was written with a simple dash: BOD-KIN
Depending on writing these three would be made either in 1946 or 1947-48. Thereafter this head was made by the M-A comp.

So many words, but unfortunately, no big money. In decent shape you may be able to get $10-$15 for one of them.

Thank you for your response.  I just bought these because they looked cool and the price was right $20 for them and about 6 more cedar arrows. I'm always amazed how much information you can get from this site  :thumbsup:

You don't suppose you could take a picture of the fletched end of those arrows and post it? I have a few that might be similiar.
