Description
This small arrowhead, often known as the Anglo-Saxon arrowhead, marks an important step in the development of arrow technology. Its slender, slightly broad shape was designed to deliver a lethal impact, suitable for hunting game and penetrating the mail and leather armor common in medieval battles. Forged by hand from darkened steel, each point is carefully shaped to fit tightly onto a standard 5/16” arrow shaft, providing a steady and true flight path. These arrowheads embody the work of medieval smiths who sought a balance between strength and flight performance, essential for the demands of both war and hunting.
Measures: 2-1/2” X 1/2”
Fun fact: The small broad arrowhead was prized not only for its cutting power but also because its design caused wounds that were difficult to treat, giving it a feared reputation on medieval battlefields.
