Going through my small broadhead collection, here are a few I can't remember what they are:

#2 looks similar to a Magnus, but it's not... Maybe a Zepher?

#3 it's a 3 blade and looks similar Bodkin M3, but it's not... Has "H 5" stamped on it...

#4 I think is a Rocky Mountain?

#5 I can't remember at all...

#6 is a 4-plade that opens up, one of the first mechanicals but forget the name...

1- Browning Serpentine , 2- Delta ? , 4- Rocky Mountain Razor , 7 Patriot , 8- Ted Nugent Whackmaster.

#3, Hi-Precision with the H-5 denotating the 5/16 ferrule size. #5 is a modified Bod-Kin broadhead. #6 is a Viper.

Interesting heads.

Thanks TradToTheBone - Yep, now remember #1 is a Browning Serpentine, thank you... Don't think #2 is Delta if your talking about a Zwickey... I have both a green and blue 2-blake Zwickey Deltas, although no 4-blade Deltas, and I even shot the 4-blades for a while but never saved one for collection... Go figure... Thanks for confirming #4 is a Rocky Mountain, and #7 a Patriot... Did not know #8 was a Nugent Whackmaster... Thank you...

Thanks casekiska for knowing #3 is a 5/16 Hi-Precision... Yep, remember #6 as a Viper now, knew the name but couldn't think of it, was driving my crazy...8^))) Yeah #5 had the 3-blade Bod-Kin profile and same type M3 metal material, but looks serrated from the factory... Probably has a model number or name would imagine... I remember seeing them advertised in bowhunting magazines back in the day... Thanks again...

Think I answered my own question on #2, I think it's a Zephyr but not sure the model, Siricco or Sasquatch?

Not a Zwickey Delta. Delta Company that made bow quivers. One broadhead from Delta was the Nubbin . I can’t remember the names of the others they made.

#2 Zephyr Sirocco. It's an early model, later ones weren't painted.

Trad To The Bone......the other Delta's were a Sniper, and Snuffer.

Oh yeah Jim, I remember the Delta broadheads now, am a Snuffer fan (still shoot them) and think I have most of the different manufactures 3-blade models, but don't have that Delta 2-blade version... Thanks for the reminder...

Thanks Ron for confirming #2 as a Zephyr Sirocco...

Dan, is that #5 a Copperhead Ripper?

Appreciate you folks info and will identify then in my collection so I don't forget again... I need to build a display case, I just have them separately in sandwich baggies and scattered in a cardboard box right now...

Was looking at my notes in the box and received the #1 Browning Serpentine and also the #5 Ripper from a nice gentleman here on this site...

For those that broadhead collect, is it best to keep/allow a little bit of rust and/or pitting on them or soak them in vinagar to clean them up but that'll remove the paint?

Need a closer look Dan, but okay, will guess two of the three COC 3-blades on the left are, one is a MA3, and another a Hill Hornet?

The razor 3-blade third from the right, I'll guess Savora...

Black 2-blade below second from right, will guess Magnus...

I know what the one at the far right is, but can't think of it...

Savora Super-S, 3-blade, once available in tool steel or stainless steel blades. Magnun II, 4-blade. The photographic detail on the other three three blade bhds is poor. Can't tell for sure but maybe a Mowoc Dot and a Hill's Hornet. No detail so no idea about the other.

Just FYI - The L.C. Whiffen Co. in Milwaukee, WI did produce a number of different Bod-Kin broadhead models with serrated blades. The serrations on their blades were very small and could almost be considered tiny when compared to the serrations on The Copperhead (mfg. by Mid-Land Tool & Die in MI) series of broadheads. Big difference between the the two types of serrations offered by the two companies.

Dan, what's the big one all the way to the right? Kinda looks like a Snuffer, but from the angle of photo looks like a 4-blade, so I its not... Diagram attached I save a while back are of Rothhaar Snuffers...

2nd picture...all three 3 blade heads on left are Hills Hornets.

Here's another am not sure what it is, has a plastic ferrule like a Hilbre, but don't think it is... I weighed it, weighs 151.8 grains...

Last model of the Blackhawk Rocketeer series of broadheads. 1958.

Wow Bill, thank you sir, I had no idea...

As an update, the 151.8 grains is because broken wood shafting glued inside the ferrule I can't get out, so the true weight I do not know... I tried open flame heat but started to melt the ferrule base... Am not sure how to get the wood out... Probably delicate work with a Dremel now...

Exactly...delicate work with a dremel tool...very delicate work or you can begin to grind away pieces of the ferrule. Usually when I get to this point I use the very tip of a round file to slowly remove the last bits of glue & wood. Incidently, I'll add this about the Rocketeer...the rings around the ferrule (at the back) are markers placed by the mfg to note the locations of where the head can be cut to reduce the ferrule diameter to fit shafts smaller than 11/32".

Thank you Bill...

Hey Bill, should I need to try and clean that rust/pitting off it or best to leave it alone?... Thanks...

Some collectors do and some collectors do not. And then some actively seek out a better specimen of that particular broadhead. The thing is, it is all up to you. It is your collection and you decide what goes into it. Personally I have never had a problem with any of my broadheads showing slight wear, its character,...to me anyways. But other guys want them perfect and mint. That's fine and it suits them well. As the saying goes, "to each their own."

Another I can not identify, its ferrule is plastic too...

Arrowmate 4-blade. Made in two different sizes. Also made as two blade. There are early and improved versions of this broadhead, can't tell which this is without seeing back of ferrule.

Thanks again Bill... When a chance will get a pic from the back...

Last one I can't identify, it's a 3-blade with another plastic ferrule and like tabs on the back... Thanks for all the info folks... After I got them all out this past week, I counted what I have and comes to 44 different types, most are glue-ons... With over 5,000 out there have a long ways to go...8^)

That's an Arrowmate also, looks like the carbon steel blade model, #108

Thanks Marvin, now I think about it got both Arrowmate models from the same guy... If this one is model, #108, do you know the other one's model#? I assume those are ABCC numbers? If so is there any way I can download that list?

There are 17 different models of Arrowmates, made between 1952 and 1976.

Zbone... Join ABCC and get the broadhead list, fish point list and access to a whole slew helpful members world wide.

I'd like to Ron but web only indicates a Facebook account and not a web address... (what club doesn't have a web address these days) If somebody has their web address to share, I would be grateful.. I tried to set up a Facebook account to open ABCC, but now blocked by too many failed login attempts... Go figure... It's like a big mystery to access them from the web... Frustrating..

Zbone...I do believe I sent you a PM stating that the ABCC does not have a web site. I also gave you the contact email to join.

I belong to the ABCC and don’t have a Facebook account.

Thanks guys...
