I'm LOST: Which of you asked for measurements of an incendiary crossbow bolt?
It was probably in May but I can't seem to find the thread ... :(
Anyway, I finally got the measurememts and wish to post them in the belonging thread! Thank you for helping my old mind along! ;) Best, Michael |

Ok,
Here they are just in case the person in concern reads this thread. It'a 14th/15th century Swiss incendiary crossbow quarrel; the haft is of oak, the flights are of osier (withe). All data in mm. m |

And here is the original piece once again, including a percentage listing of its incendiary components; the outer layer is sulphur, now turned to gray. 4 small oak sticks and layers of linen are meant for stabilization and controled delay of the burning time. A remainder of a piece of matchcord for ignition can be seen.
Best, Michael |

That's so unbelievable, you found it - thank you so much, Master Mind Boss 'Nando!!! :) ;) :D :rolleyes: :cool: :eek:
Best wishes as ever, Miguel |
Hi Dirk,
The flights (feathers) are about 1.5 mm thick. :) Best again, Michael |
