Medieval Bodkin Point Arrowhead

This arrowhead follows the bodkin pattern, an armour-piercing head classified as London Museum Type 8 and Jessop military type M8/M9.

The bodkin’s narrow, square cross-section and long tapering point concentrated force onto a small area, letting it punch through mail and gaps in plate armour rather than relying on a wide cutting edge. Archaeological finds of this type date to the 13th through 15th centuries, confirming genuine sustained military use.

Deepeeka’s reproduction is hand-forged from high carbon steel, sold as a standalone head for mounting onto a shaft of your choice, part of our historical archery range.

  • Medieval Rhomboid Socketed Arrowhead

    SKU: AH3522.2

    This arrowhead follows a rhomboid, socketed pattern, documented among medieval European finds including examples recovered from Iberian battle sites.

    The diamond-shaped rhomboid profile gave a genuinely strong, tapering point mounted via a socketed base rather than a tang, a widely used medieval construction method suited to both hunting and warfare.

  • Medieval Bilobate Barbed Arrowhead, Type 15

    SKU: AH3522.10

    This arrowhead follows the London Museum Type 15 pattern, a bilobate, barbed and socketed head of genuinely substantial size among surviving medieval finds.

    Its two-lobed, heavily barbed profile made it an effective hunting head for larger game, with archaeological examples recovered from mid-13th century English contexts, reflecting the variety of specialist arrowhead forms medieval fletchers and smiths produced for different quarry and purposes.

  • Crossbow Bolt, Steel Tip

    SKU: AH5120.3

    This crossbow bolt is fitted with a mild steel tip, sized and weighted for use with a medieval-style crossbow.

    Crossbow prods historically evolved from single-piece wood (ash or yew) through composite construction to steel by around the 14th century, and the bolts fired from these increasingly powerful weapons needed correspondingly robust tips to match.

    Deepeeka’s reproduction recreates that practical crossbow bolt, part of our historical archery range.
