Western/Central Europe, probably England, France, or Germany, Medieval period, ca. 12th to 15th century CE. A wonderful gathering of 34 crossbow bolt tips forged from either steel or iron. First are three steel heads exhibiting a silvery hue with two bearing a socketing shaft and one with a solid tang. Next are six socketed heads with diamond-shaped heads and green-brown hues.

Seven heads bear slender, solid tips above the tangs, and eight additional tips have stockier tips for blows against heavier armor or fortifications. One tip has a petaloid head similar to an arrowhead, and a petite head exhibits a dramatically tapered head that terminates in a point. Size of largest (silvery steel): 4.375" L (11.1 cm)
