Three vintage Philippine arrows

Detlef, looking in the book "Traditional Archery from Six Continents, The Charles E. Grayson Collection" ... there are illustrated arrows of very similar construction and metal heads, described as from the Philippines. Not specific as to area in the Philippines, but said to be late 19th early 20th century.

While the arrows have an overall appearance of age, the nocks don't look as though the arrows have ever been used - no wear from a bowstring.

But I'm no archer, so I could be wrong.

Hello Bob,

Very good possible but like you I am not an archer.

Thank you Colin!

Since I don't own the book, can you please post a picture from them?

Thanks in advance,
Detlef
