A genuine medieval iron crossbow bolt (quarrel head) from a private collection, beautifully presented in a black shadow box frame with red velvet lined recess and a period illustration of a medieval crossbowman.

A printed label identifies the piece as a Medieval Crossbow Bolt, 12th to 16th Century AD.

Crossbow bolts (quarrels) were among the most feared projectiles of the medieval battlefield, capable of penetrating armour at close range. The short, stout diamond-section point form is highly characteristic of medieval crossbow ammunition and is well documented from archaeological finds across Europe.
