Okay Tradgangers... I've come across some fiberglass arrows that are in great conditions but do not have a single marking anywhere on them. I'm hoping you guys can tell me what these are - brand and spine.
Here's a pic of the shafts...

The fiberglass weave pattern looks like some Dura-Flights I have, but a different shaft color. These are a rich reddish brown in color.
Graphlex shafts
Bear metric magnum
Look a lot like Herter's.
Not Bear Mags, they were metal. No markings hints to me what we call blems or were made for a sporting goods company like today's Cabalas. The pattern reminds me of Microflights but... maybe made by Gordon's. I have Graflex arrows but they do not look like those. I just checked.
Not sure of who made Herter's shafts.
Herter'were a parallel fiber shaft called Farbenglas. Think they were made in Germany and were a beige color. Never saw the shafts you have and I've been doing this since the 50's.
I have Herters Farbenglass and they don't look like these. I have 2 "DuraFlex" shafts that ha e the exact same weave but are grey in color.
Hopefully someone will know.
They look identical to some 61-64# spined aluminum shafts that were given to me after my hunting partner passed a few years back. The ony mark is a tiny (and i mean tiny) number 6 3/4 of the way down the shaft.
If you look at the thickness of the shaft wall, you will see whether they are actually aluminum or composite (aluminum will be much thinner walled than composite).
All Herters arrows were made by M.J. Log and all the fiberglass shafts were Gordon glass. Farbenglas was just advertising hype. I have some of the same tan shafts stamped M J Log.
I had some that looked like that many years ago but were marked MJ Log, good shafts from what I remember
They looked to be well aged Micro flites.
Nope iv got micros from the 60 s they ant that dark
Maybe from Bingham
I believe they are Micro Flites.Micro Flite made a less expensive shaft that was that color.I had some,back in the early '70's.I still have a piece of one around here somewhere.I just can't remember if they had any markings beside the size number.
