Medieval arrowheads came in a huge variety of types and forms within those types, but the most popular and commonly used military heads were the bodkins. Four-sided and with a range of point types, the bodkin is both the most commonly made and misunderstood medieval arrowhead.
This video outlines the four main types - the London Museum Types 7, 8, 9 and 10. Why they're different, and how they're forged in order to make them accurate to museum examples.
In order they are:
MoL Type 7 - Urquhart Castle (13thC)
MoL Type 8 - Castle Acre (14thC)
MoL Type 9 - Private collection (15thC)
MoL Type 10 - Urquhart Castle (13th-15thC)
