Not MA-3, they are Spiral Killer heads made in Italy. The stamp is YS not Y5. there was a left and right spiral and also a straight blade. The early ones looked kinda crude, later they looked better.

These look like straight blades. The Spiral Killer actually had a curve like the wave at your favorite surfing spot.

Speaking for the MA-3. I know these are a older design and materials, same for the MA- 2. They show up on old arrows at flea markets and yard sales. Don't write these heads off as inferior. And I'm well aware of all the heads out there, new designs and materials, but the MA (Make All Tool & Die) heads sharpen easily (soft steel). I mounted a few on aluminum adaptors and ran them across my Tru Angle file set for 3 blade heads. This put the weight to approx 155 grains, just right for my setup. For someone on a budget there are plenty options for the thrifty archer.

My son brought over those YS broadheads. Not quite the quality of the ma-3, but not too bad. They came in a box that said “Miller ski” on it. They weigh 190 gr. He got 20 of them for $1.25 ea

over 5000 know broadheads on ABCC master list. You wonder why so many and did some good ones go away. BHD quality like the head above is why many heads are gone. Other reason is marketing, or manufacturing cost, or builder loses interest, retires, or passes.
