Hi

I have had these strange arrows (or are they crossbow bolts ?), which puzzle me, for a bit. As European Arms and Armour are not my main area of interest, perhaps someone could identify them for me. Lengths are about 38 inches and diameter of the wood shafts 0.5 of an inch. Flights are of leather, fringed at the edges, and the iron or steel points are pinned to the wood.

Thanks in advance
