Barbed Broadhead Arrowhead

Description

This Barbed Broadhead Arrowhead is hand-forged from solid iron and finished in a dark, natural tone that gives it a true medieval look. The visible forging marks highlight its handmade craftsmanship.

Also known as a Medieval Swallowtail Arrowhead, this design has wide V-shaped barbs that extend from the central socket. This unique shape was widely used in medieval times for both hunting and combat due to its effectiveness.

Historically, these arrowheads were designed to create larger wound impact on unarmored targets. In hunting, they helped in quicker takedown of animals. In warfare, they were effective against lightly armored soldiers and were also used to disable horses during battle.

The barbed design made removal difficult, increasing its effectiveness once it struck the target. This made it a strategic choice in medieval combat situations.

The socket base allows easy attachment to wooden shafts, making it suitable for arrow-making, collections, or historical display.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Keep in a dry place to prevent rust

Note: Each Broad Tail Point arrowhead is hand-forged, so variations in shape, size, and finish are natural.
