A huge incendiary gun arrow was salvaged, alongside a bronze demiculverin (!), from the wreck of the Mary Rose (sunk 1545).
The haft is of silver fir, the flights are oak. At the extreme rear end, right behind the flights, a dark area is visible, most probably the former place of a hemp or cord binding gasket. m Last edited by Matchlock; 10th July 2012 at 06:36 PM. |

Incendiary arrows for both guns and crossbows, and how they were manufactured:
from the famous Hauslab manuscript, 1442, now in the Royal Armouries Leeds. Author's photos, apart from the top five attachments. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 23rd July 2012 at 12:36 AM. |
