I've got images of one of the greatest rarities ever: a whistling crossbow bolt! (German: Heulbolzen). The air in those holes made it whistle and howl as it went, producing a psychologically dramatic effect on the side of the opponents. This is the only one I have ever seen in 40 years, museums, auctions - all. Best, Michael Attached Images Last edited by Matchlock; 23rd March 2014 at 02:17 PM.
