Lot Highlights

Rarity and Value

This narrow 14th-century arrowhead, measuring 13 x 0.5 cm, was specifically designed to pierce chainmail and plate armor, making it one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield. Such specialized medieval munitions are rare finds, and this specimen stands as a chilling reminder of medieval warfare’s brutal efficiency.

Discovery and Acquisition

Discovered in Penza, Russia, this arrowhead was once part of a warrior’s arsenal, crafted for battle against heavily armored foes. Such pieces, found near historical battle sites, provide direct insight into the weapons that shaped history. Its preservation allows modern collectors and historians to study the engineering behind medieval armor-piercing technology.

Craftsmanship and Presentation

Forged from hardened iron, this arrowhead features an elongated, needle-like design, crafted to slip through the gaps in armor or puncture riveted chainmail. Unlike broad-headed hunting arrows, this piece was purely a weapon of war, demonstrating the strategic adaptations of medieval warfare.

Human Touch

Once fired from a longbow or war bow, this arrowhead could decide the fate of a knight in battle. It embodies the clash of offense and defense, where innovation determined survival. Now, preserved as a historical relic, it offers a direct connection to the art of medieval warfare.
