To me they mostly look like war spear heads, especially with the almost recurve type barbs. But most of them that I have seen were from the Phillipines etc. Usually set in palmwood. Other than that I don't know but there cool.

crossbow bolts, made of bronze or other metal. Chinese?

Bronze/iron crossbow bolts from China based on those of the Chu Dynasty. That would be my guess too.

Those are warheads the arrow head design we get or name for the tip of a missle. They were barbed to cause more damage upon removal. They appear to be Asian; but from where in Asia I am unsure. I'm thinking China. Japanese arrowheads are more finely crafted. In China where the field 1,000,000 archers you had to make arrows in the tens to hundreds of millions you make the heads faster and cruder. This is an (under)educated guess of coarse.

They were probably designed by Mr. Lamb and were wildly popular in the bronze age. They went out of production when Iron was discovered.   I bet Falk  has like 50 of them in his collection.   :rolleyes:    :p    :biglaugh:

ok a real guess is going to be they are a scandinavian point for fishing and seals.  It's hard for me to tell, but I am guessing they weigh a lot and the "tang" on those things seems awful long for an arrow head, but I don't know enough one way or the other. *shrugs*
