Magnus or Ziwickey?

I can't remember where I bought these heads at, but I thought they were Ziwickey Eskilites, but they have Magnus on them. I went to the magnus website but could not find them.
Were these made for Ziwickey by Magnus?

They weigh 125gr.

Those were good broadheads, they sharpened up well.

Look like Magnus II's to me. Great heads. Still use them.

My 500 legacy shafts are 10.3 gr per inch not 8.3
Magnus traditional line was sold, Magnus still in Kansas and makes stinger heads and other screw in heads.
I bought up a good supply of the old black Magnus heads.

Yep. Stagetek got it. They're Magnus IIs -- 110 grains 1.25 inches wide. The aluminum adaptor (in the pic) adds about 15 grains.

Yep Magnus II. Pretty much same profile as Zwickey Eskimos. I used them years ago but preferred the larger Magnus I's. Now I mainly use Zwickey No Mercy heads.

I'm a Magnus fan, still have a few hanging around. I'll use them on hogs. Pretty much shoot three blades now.

I still have 6 Magnus IIs that I keep sharp and mounted on wood shafts.

No, Magnus doesn't make heads for Zwickey. Zwickey was started LONG ago, WAY before Magnus came along.

I am going by what's on the shaft. You're correct about the heads. I reached out to the r manufacturer.

My Bad, I thought they were the old legacy aluminum shafts.
