CORRECTLY I.D. 1st. and I'll send you one.......Closest to exact wins.....Don and Skyler (http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k209/rickybob_2006/CIMG0815.jpg)
I don't know what the arrow heads are but tha is the head side of a buffalo nickel
I'd say Bronze points either Roman or African
I say there crossbow bolts from along time ago
To me they mostly look like war spear heads, especially with the almost recurve type barbs. But most of them that I have seen were from the Phillipines etc. Usually set in palmwood. Other than that I don't know but there cool.
crossbow bolts, made of bronze or other metal. Chinese?
fishing points
Bronze/iron crossbow bolts from China based on those of the Chu Dynasty. That would be my guess too.
eskimo fishing heads.
Taper tanged harpoon points. Possibly Inuit?
my guess, atlatl heads
Pointy metal things!!!!
Type of throwing dart.
toothpicks with a cool arrowhead handle?
Points for bamboo arrows
are they vicking?, or Indian(asia)
Those are warheads the arrow head design we get or name for the tip of a missle. They were barbed to cause more damage upon removal. They appear to be Asian; but from where in Asia I am unsure. I'm thinking China. Japanese arrowheads are more finely crafted. In China where the field 1,000,000 archers you had to make arrows in the tens to hundreds of millions you make the heads faster and cruder. This is an (under)educated guess of coarse.
the reason I say vicking is they twisted thier metal like that, notice the metal shafts
They were probably designed by Mr. Lamb and were wildly popular in the bronze age. They went out of production when Iron was discovered. I bet Falk has like 50 of them in his collection. :rolleyes: :p :biglaugh:
D-
ok a real guess is going to be they are a scandinavian point for fishing and seals. It's hard for me to tell, but I am guessing they weigh a lot and the "tang" on those things seems awful long for an arrow head, but I don't know enough one way or the other. *shrugs*
Philippine
Spear heads for fish.
Harboon heads, spear heads
Good guesses so far. One has been sorta close. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!
I'm with bayoulongbowman and think they are harpoon points.
OK, if not harpoon points I suspect Zulu warrior spear points.
vicking fishing points
Inuit(Or other Native American) Whaling harpoon heads
inuit harpoons were made of bone, best guess is scandinavian harpoons\\fishing points
I think they are atalatl hunting heads from early indian times
Medieval French Broadheads, Spiral Crossbow Heads.
was I close?
can you tell if the points are damascus?, or are they too coroded?, if they show a sign of layering or damascus, definatly vicking!, vickings twisted wire, then hit it flat
I'D SAY EARLY MONGOLIAN OR SCANDINAVIAN.
Eskimo spear heads - seal or whale hunting
(the buffalo nickel hints at US/North American origin?)
Try this again...Early Viking Age Tanged and Barbed arrowheads.
harpoon points, for fishing possibly small game.
Made in america...spanish
harpoon for whale's
They look to big to be Arrow heads & they aren't big enough to be spear heads so I am thinking maybe aboriginal atlatle points.
Are they from a plumbata?
pakastan and scythian heads.
Hunting points used in bamboo or other cane arrows used to shoot birds and monkeys out of the tall rainforest trees of South America. Barbs so they stay in the critter to help kill it and so the owner gets it back. Arrows are sometimes over 5' long. Wow, how was that for a wild a$$ed guess !
ChuckC
Arrowheads... :bigsmyl:
Those are pieces of my neighbor's wrought iron fence. :)
They are "LIFE ENDER " Points. Don
Ancient tattoo tools.
Good one, Chad...A couple of you have close......Jesse loves his new bow.
top of a cemetary fence...
Cane Arrow Fore Shafts ?
tuna fish spear
Because of the long tangs it looks like they have been fitted to a hollow shaft, Bamboo or cane. My guess is African. Bue--.
Look like some Lozi heads from Zambia, the Lozi were famous iron workers and made arrow points and spear points like that. Some had plenty more barbs and were mounted in a trap like a 'set-gun'.
They made long arrows of cane with feathered fletching.
chrisg
I'm thinking now they are not related to archery or weaponry at all. I think they might have been used to eat corn on the cob by sticking them in the ends of the ears as handles. :D
north african
Lance tips-----Bone
Arrow points from the Akamba Tribe in Africa
Philippine Islands: War, fishing, and hunting spear heads. But I think Osagetree had the origin first.
Alabama frog gigs. ;)
Some short of bird point?
roman hunting\\fishing heads?
I would think they are points for spear fishing. Shawn
Poison arrow foreshafts. I'm gonna go with African. Or harpoon tips. Nah. Not harpoon. Nowhere to attatch a retrieval line.
When do we get to find out?????????
I am sticking with some sort of dart point. Unsure of the origin, but definitely the right size for a dart/atlatl and too long of a tang for an arrow point. Could be South/Central American.
Malaysia
Indonesia
Papua New Guinea
???????
Soloman islands?
They are service to air missles from the pigmy
islands of Africa !
Walrus hunting point
definitely not maasai or viking
I would say harpoon tips or points.
shenbi nu?? Chinese crossbow bolts
castle gate posts from France or Germany
hand forged trade points made by the first blacksmith that crossed the mississippi.
I am ready to find out..At least pm me. :) I will not tell
fire pokers
Looks to me like some sort of spearhead fishing points. Wish I knew...
Could also be atlatl darts.
Really swanky toothpicks?
A masochist's floorboard nails?
Great guesses' every one! I think our friend Bue from Norway got closest, first, in one post.....They are arrow fore-shafts, made of iron, from the Bura culture/tribe in what was Niger in North/Central Africa. They are a little over 100 years old...THX for playing.....Bue, p.m. me with your address....If you've just got to have one of these, P.M. me, We might can help... We traded for these a while back, to give, as gifts, to some of our Trad buddies...THANKS again for playing....Skyler and Don
