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.

Post by: vermonster13 on July 24, 2007, 04:23:00 PM
Bronze/iron crossbow bolts from China based on those of the Chu Dynasty. That would be my guess too.

Post by: Ian johnson on July 24, 2007, 05:19:00 PM
are they vicking?, or Indian(asia)
Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Curtiss Cardinal on July 24, 2007, 05:19:00 PM
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.
Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Ian johnson on July 24, 2007, 05:22:00 PM
the reason I say vicking is they twisted thier metal like that, notice the metal shafts
Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Bard1 on July 24, 2007, 06:37:00 PM
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:

Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Bard1 on July 24, 2007, 06:54:00 PM
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*

Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Al33 on July 24, 2007, 07:31:00 PM
I'm with bayoulongbowman and think they are harpoon points.
Title: Re: TRAD QUIZ>>>>can you I.D.>>>>>PICS
Post by: Al33 on July 24, 2007, 07:33:00 PM
OK, if not harpoon points I suspect Zulu warrior spear points.

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.

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 !

Because of the long tangs it looks like they have been fitted to a hollow shaft, Bamboo or cane. My guess is African.  Bue--.

Post by: chrisg on July 25, 2007, 02:19:00 AM
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.

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

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.

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
