I saw somebody on the old englishwarbow having ordered these heads but i dont remember who it was. This is the link to the website http:///belza.iq.pl/old/index_eng.html (not sure if this is against pa rules but if it is just type in on google jaroslaw belza arrowheads) Im planning on getting some type 7's type 15's and type 16's. I am still waiting from him to reply to my email. He forges custom heads so i have asked him how much it will cost for 6 or so type 15 heads.
If any of you have experience with this man let me know to see what quality it is.

I know Jarek since 10 years. He does excellent work. He makes repros in museum quality.He even makes superb crossbows.
-
That's good to know. Could you then ask me why he didn't respond to my emails or is there some reason why he didn't? His work looks excellent but tuesday i sent him an email and i haven't heard since.
-
Jaro is a top notch guy. Makes some really nice bows. I have a knife his friend forged.
-
I have deiced i'll go with master arrowsmith hector cole, i sent him an email yesterday afternoon and it's takin quite a while for him to reply. Anybody else experienced this?
-
Well it is the weekend,maybe he's busy?
I've delt with him a few times and he's a great bloke!But he's very much in demand,he'll probably have orders to finish before he gets on to yours.
-
Thanks Loki, did you just send him an email and do you also order by email? Well Nick birmingham said he can be a hard man to track down as he once sent him an email and never got a reply. Ill wait a couple of days then. WHen you order does he still have to make the heads? Thanks for your advice, Tom.
-
Email him telling him what you want to order,he'll then email you back with the price and expected delivery time,i've had heads in a few days but sometimes it can be weeks.It will depend how busy he is..?
He doesnt accept paypal or credit cards so you'll have to figure out a way of getting the payment to him?i just send the cash in the post not sure if thats a good idea for you?
-
Hi,
Thanks Loki! I sent him an email with a different email adress that i saw somewhere on the internet on an armoury website.
But i'll see if i get a reply.
Tom.

No i have never shot a swallowtail head before but i can assume that it is pretty scary :p ;D Im ordering tomorrow hoping to get my stuf in 4 weeks or so. Loki do you live in the U.S? if you do how long did it take you for the heads to get there.
-
Never mind i see you live in Durham, England.

when you forge these how do you get the one peice. Just off hand i would imagine that youroll the socket, then forge weld it to a head you made seperately am I close?

I see, so you make it in the same process as a bodkin then flatten it to the shape you're after then hot cut the barbs!
Thanks!

Hi all...
yes it was me... ;) i've only just got around to joining this forum... ::) shame the old englishwarbow forum closed down, still, it seems there are some familiar names around here !!
Jaroslaws forged heads are really good and reliable , and so are of course Hector Cole's, i've just recently recieved some more from him...

Hi Chris,
Nice to see you've joined the forum. I bought some plate cutters from Jaroslav recently; yes he does take a bit of a time to reply to your emails, but he'll eventually reply. He will now do the heads with a 1/2" outside dia socket for a bit extra, as he knows more people shooting warbows need them. Mine cost around six euros each and I have now case hardened them, so they are sharp and hard enough to scratch glass - I'll be using them at the Triskell when you come over.
Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,
looking forward to the festival !
I'am about to case harden my forged points as well, good to hear you've already done yours !
Chris
