Medieval, Crusaders Era Iron rare shaped arrows, 10,9-8,9 cm

During the Crusades, iron arrowheads were designed for specific military purposes, including points for piercing chain mail and light armor, broad points with barbs to inflict large wounds, and broad points shaped like a swallowtail or crescent for greater effectiveness against horses or men. These designs varied significantly in shape, size, and type of material used, with hard, high-carbon iron being the most sought after for its durability and ability to penetrate armor. Provenance: Dusper Collection, assembled since the 1970s; former Austrian private collection, 2011; Former collection of Anita Kerehova, Austria, 2020; Former Pablo H. Goizauskas Collection, Spain, 2025 Statement seen by Catawiki. Important information. The seller guarantees that he is entitled to ship this lot. The seller will take care that any necessary permits will be arranged. The seller will inform the buyer about this if this takes more than a few days. Important: For destinations out of Spanish territorry: all our object will be shipped after obtaining CERTIFICATE OF EXPORTATION by Ministry of Culture of Spain. We inform our clients that it may take between 4-8 weeks. For buyers outside the European Union (EU) a Spanish export license is required. This will take several weeks to arrange. Due to Switzerland customs regulations about antiques over 100 years old, this lot cannot be sold to customers residing in Switzerland.
