Can you identify this broadhead, please?

My buddy gave me three of these broadheads today. They were given to him by his friend's father who bought them new at least 3 decades ago (just going by what I was told).

After taking this photo I removed them from the old shafts and weighed them. They are 170 grain 3-blades. I think I'm going to clean them up, get them sharp, and try to take a deer with one next season. Any info is appreciated.

Snuffer!

On the Magnus website I see that the screw-ons come in 170 grains, but the glue-ons only go up to 160. Is it possible the Snuffer glue-on came in a 170 grain version back then? BTW, thanks for the fast responses.

They weren't always magnus snuffers. They used to be rothar snuffers, and I believe Roger made them in 170.

Thanks again!

Yep, an original snuffer. I have a few in my bow tools, and they look about that funky! I never could get a really sharp edge on mine, so they are slowly turning to rust.
