Maybe solid nickle? I assume you tried a magnet on it already.

Hi Fuse,
It isn't magnetic. I emailed Gary Garber about it and he was kind enough to reply and said: "You have a fascinating arrowhead. I have never seen one like it. Could Daisy
have used something like that to make a mold for the plastic arrowheads, I wonder. Don't know. Another Daisy
mystery!" I also emailed Dennis Baker "Daisy King" he too was kind enough to reply and said: "New one to me. Never seen one before." I also emailed Joe Murfin via the Daisy Museum but haven't heard anything from him. I'll post any future responses. Thank you!

As I said before, what a score. You could probably get two like new in the box model 21's for it.

That is one hell of a find, and not to mention at an amazing price. Had that been titled better who know what it may have brought.

Hi Pete, you had emailed me a few days ago to ask me if Inew anything about this metal arrowhead that you had purchased on eBay. As I had told you, there was a listing on eBay a few years back by a seller who had one of these. I asked him then about it and he told me that he and a friend had done a "lost wax casting" on an original Daisy Red Ryder arrowhead and made one for each of themselves and a few extras to sell in the future. They were cast in silver hence the heavy weight. I too have one of these Red Ryder silver arrowheads and I also have a Davy Crockett silver arrowhead as well. Both cast in .999 silver. They are a neat conversation piece. Enjoy yours and show it proudly. Rich

If these are cast from the original plastic ones they will be a little smaller since the silver shrinks as it cools. How does yours compare to a plastic one in size?

Hi Gary,
I originally described my metal arrowhead as being identical in size to the plastic ones. However after reading your post and upon closer examination, I determined that you're absolutely right. My metal arrowhead is just a tad smaller than my plastic one. Thank you very much for your keen observation.

The mystery seems to be getting solved. Nice one.

Too bad we do't know how many were made. Will be interesting to see if any others show up.
At least the original mystery is solved. This is a great place to learn!
