Lot Highlights
Rarity and Value
This 6 x 1.8 cm Teutonic crossbow bolt tip, found in Kaliningrad, is a rare remnant of the Teutonic Order’s military campaigns. Used in siege warfare and battle, crossbow bolts like these were feared for their power and precision. This artifact represents a time when the crossbow changed the face of medieval combat, making heavily armored knights vulnerable.
Discovery and Acquisition
Unearthed near Balga, a historical Teutonic stronghold, this bolt tip is a relic of the 13th-14th century conflicts that shaped Eastern Europe. The strategic importance of the region made it a battleground for Teutonic knights and their adversaries, ensuring that crossbows played a decisive role in battle.
Craftsmanship and Presentation
Fashioned from hardened iron, this bolt tip was designed for penetration and impact, allowing crossbowmen to fire with devastating force. The compact size and weight balance indicate use in close and long-range engagements, proving the tactical versatility of medieval siege warfare.
Human Touch
Once loosed from a Teutonic archer’s crossbow, this bolt may have seen battle, carrying with it the echoes of medieval conquest. Today, it serves as a historical testament to the age of chivalry and war, a rare and tangible fragment of a knight’s arsenal.
