Awesome, thank you.  I wonder if tht head was originally shaped that way or were barbs filed off.

Great story...thanks for the research and posting!

TTT for simply a great thread by John...

Awesome story thanks for sharing that. WW2 veterans have always had a special place in my heart. They were some tough guys. 75 million served- unbelievable what they accomplished.

Thanks for sharing this. Quite remarkable.

wonder how he survived without single bevels?

Fascinating. I've always held the 10th Mtn. Division of WWII in high regard, since I was a kid. For me, a lot had to do with their skiing and mountaineering heritage, along with their heroics.
If anyone wants a great read on it (fairly recently published), get "Climb to Conquer" by Peter Shelton.

Never came across this added history though; now I can add archery to the image!

That is amazing. I believe that there are records of a WW2 British soldier using a long bow in combat as well.

The broadhead looks a lot like a head sold by Outdoor Amusement Company AKA Osage Archery Tackle circa 1936 ish as shown in a pic in Wade Philips' broadhead book.

Very cool story.
