Old Arrow ID help

[lpcjon2]

I found these two arrows, and the nocks I have never seen before, and the field points look a lot different from todays FP's. They may not be that old but they look like it.Thanks Tim

At first I thought that you were talking about me. Sorry I cann't help you with the arrows.

Bear made arrows that had those nocks and points in the 1953-1956 era. But there were others that looked like that too. The differences in fletch shape can be very subtle. Hugh Rich produced some that looked very much like those arrows.

They look like speed nocks.  Is there an index i.e., raised line of plastic on the top of the nock?  I have a couple of points like that.  Have no idea who made them.

[Bjorn]

The upper arrow is a Hugh Rich the points are identical. I'll get a pic of those later today.

The lower one is likely Bear-from the '50's-the fletch cuts are different from yours.

There is a 1/8 raised piece at the shaft end on the nock that looks like it is to align the nock to the cock feather.It does not go down to the string end of the nock like most indicators do. Your fingers would not come close to even feeling it, its 1/16 if that high.

Bjorn the nocks are 1 1/4" long from end to end.And they dont look as thick at the groove end as the ones in your picture.

[Orion]

Look like speed nocks to me. The indicator is intended to roughly line up on the cock feather, depending on how the fletching jig is set.

They are some long nocks at 1 1/4"

You'll find mosy of the vintage wood arrows had nocks like those.I have arrows from the 70's with them as well.The Bohning style nocks we're all more familiar with didn't appear till the 80's I'd imagine?

[White Falcon]

Look like Pearson arrows!

[lpcjon2]

What year did the Pearsons come out?

[Bjorn]

Here are two Bear arrows that are newer than your arrows-these are early 60's. The nocks appear the same type but shorter-1" long and have the ridge you described

The points appear to be similar or the same


The lighting is inadequate and I'm using my phone

[Bjorn]

OK here is a mid 50's arrow with your nock attached-this is a Pearson of the same vintage as I believe your arrow to be
 

It has a broadhead attached so I didn't take a pic.
Your fletch shape is unlike the Pearson or the Bear but many arrows were made with that nock and point in the mid 50's.

Thanks Bjorn that helps a bunch.

Bjorn, I took the liberty to clean up your photo a little.
