Looking for maille piercing arrowheads

Ron · Post by **Ron** » Wed Jun 25, 2003 10:03 pm

I'm looking for someplace to buy a couple of maille piercing arrowheads. I want to show people the different varieties of arrow heads used for different purposes at reenactment events. It seems to me I've seen them on the Internet, but I can't find them now that I'm looking for them. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi!
I have to second that !

Historic Enterprises sells excellent bokins. We bought a bunch last year at Pensic and have tried them on plates and chainmail. So far the score is, armour and chainmail 0 Bodkins 2 !

Have a good day!

Yup, HE has some nice bodkins.

If you'd like to try your experiment with crossbow bolts in addition, I have some made in the Czech Republic in stock -

A place called Medieval Replicas (not to be confused with Museum Replicas) used to have several styles as well. Bodkins and square-head (like a bodkin, but shorter and beefier) points for sale at 6$ per head.
I do not know if they are still around or under what name.
