Hi m Eley and Michael,
I saw these replicas in action at the "Zeitreise" in Autumn 2011 in Coburg. And I learned, that the men in these times think over the problem with the shooting parts of the fire bags. They had a kind of wheelbarrow which could be put over the Fire bags with the result, that the fire might got out because of no more oxygen and the men is as well protected, if the wood is thick enough.

Going back to the title of this thread, here comes another sample of an extremely rare 14th-16th c. incendiary crossbow bolt retaining its original burning mass. It resembles one of the two incendiary quarrels that I posted from my friend's collection in the beginning.
From the Klingbeil collection, sold in 2011, where it was in one lot together with a late 17th c. hunting crossbow. Length 45 cm. Best, Michael |

Some Interesting 18th C. Cast-Iron Grenades Retaining Their Fuses!
Sold Hermann Historica, Munich, yesterday.
Some with stamped markings but only those retaining their fuses (and probably all their fillings!) sold, and only at the estimate. That was a unique opportunity. m |
