| Hi Gino,
My Definitions for these arrow heads are:
1) Long Bodkin.... Used against Mail and Padded Jacket, this is not armour pearcing.
2) Birding Head or Gauling/Fowling head.... The best information i have had regarding this head came from Hungary where this shape head was used for Poaching...The Reason, if you hit your quarry it will cause massive damage, If you miss your arrow will not get lost in the undergrowth as the shape will not allow it to slide under the ground cover.
3) This is a Small replica of a Type 10 Bodkin... this would penetrate light weight armour, you would need something bigger and Lozenge shape to penetrate heavier armour.
4) Is a Hunting Head.
5) Fire Cage, stuff it with some material (Linen for example) soaked in oil with a small burning ember in it, this will ignite as it is loosed from the bow and burn for a long time.
6) This one, i'm not sure, i have not seen any originals of these so i would not like to speculate.
Hope this is helpfull.
These all look like small replicas, are the sockets on these 1/2"?
