Is this a Bear Razorhead?

While attending a local archery shoot, I came across a fellow with several of these broadheads. He stated they were early Bear Razorheads, so I bought a few.  However, I am no broadhead expert and their color and appearance made me suspicious.  As you can see they are a dark charcoal grey color with screw-in adaptors in place and they weight 145 grains each.  Have you seen these before?

I believe that's a Bear Super Razorhead

Would this be an earlier Super since current ones are stainless?...I think

Quote from a source...

"The Super Razorhead was introduced in 1978, and the era of the old lime-green Razorhead came to a close. However, these new Super Razorheads did not have a reputation for holding up under use and lost favor with the masses of bowhunters in time. However, Bear Archery's ability to market better than anyone else kept this broadhead in tackle boxes."

Blackhawk, I couldn't read the pic on my PC but I have used the head you described and while I prefer the greenies, this one isn't bad and I still prefer it to the even newer polished stainless steel model that is still in production. The guy probably was just guessing at the vintage. Come to think about it though, 1978 was "early" to lots of guys. God, I'm old.

I've never found a notable difference in the tan/green ones and the gray.  The gray ones are blunted more at the tip, but work very well.
Some folks just don't like Bear Razorheads...go figure.

"bootleg" ?    :saywhat:   ... and your reasoning? or is this a joke?  :confused:  

The reason I ask is they were $2 each and I was thinking of picking up more since he had several dozen.  ;)

I would try sharpening the ones you have and shoot them as well. If they sharpen well and shoot well, it would be a nobrainer for me at the price you mentioned. I once bought  a thousand of them from a felllow in Utah for $500 and resold them at $24/doz. If you can get them for $2 each you have nothing to loose.

Bill, they sharpen easily with the "Accusharp" and fly great.  

Now I have to find a cinder block for a little durability test.  :bigsmyl:

Is that screw in adapter glued in to the head after market. I have the same head but it is a glue on and lime green.

It is not as old as the green ones they came out in late 70's 80's I think.I have only one in gray and it is not slotted on both sides for the insert.I guess the quality control was waning for Bear products about that time such a shame.I hope to put it in a hog or deer this fall/winter.I do have a couple dozen of the green ones and no they are not for sale.Kip

The gray ones were about the same as the old green heads. The main difference was that the gray Super came from the factory already sharpened, and chiseled on the point. They also included the screw in inserts like the latter green heads.  I have several new packs and could dig one out and copy the literature if you'd like. They sharpen up really easily and I have seen no difference in performance between them and the green ones. Great broadheads! CKruse

Blackkhawk....at $2.00 a piece they are a bargain indeed.  Get all you can.

Whew! I'm glad to hear that these are not bootleg or trash, because I just bought some of these on ****. Four were already used as practice heads, and they are holding up fine, but I wasn't planning on shooting into engine blocks to make sure.

Its looks like a razorhead to me. I have taken lots of deer with razorheads over the years. They are great heads and are easy to sharpen. I have lots of the old green razorheads and some of the ss razorheads. The ss ones seem to be stronger than the green ones. I am going hog hunting next week and I will be using the ss heads. Here pigie pigie.
I may give out but I will never give up.
