Dear user on the first name Christian from Norway !!
I have some arrows of Your State Norway let alone about Sweden.
I wanted to ask Your advice about the anciant name of Your Norwegian Capital "CHRISTIANIA", that now is called as "Oslo".
I could not image that will be so terrible scundal in this CYBER WEB because of Your capital's old name as "CHRISTIANIA"!
I was sure, that everybody knows the anciant name of Your capital, as "CHRISTIANIA" !!!!
I am really shoked, as if People like old arrows they must know the names of the capitals where these arrows were used many centures ago.
It is wonderful, that Marrc St Luis asked me.
Because of these not educated some People I can be banned in this cyber web.
But Mister Marc St Luois had to know this information, His work here is monitoring.
There are some terroristic attacks, but men those has knowleadge must now ancient name of OSLO, as "CHRISTIANIA", in my opinion.
Please read my answered to Marc St Luis to him in Easten Europe my writting in English Arrows.
It is my detailed aswered to Him about You.
It was misundertanding because some People are not educated in arrow's geografy and are made terrible blunders.
Best wishes for You.

Christian by name, not religion ;) hehe
Actualy Kristiania is the name that was used when Norway was under a Danish king. After a three day long fire the danish king, Christian 4th, desided to rebuild the town on the other side of the river. The new build was named after the king and called Christiania or Kristiania. This was never a law and people were still free to call it what they wanted. After Norway broke out of union with Sweden in 1925 the capital changed its name back to the OLD name: Oslo.
There's many different explanations as to what the name oslo means, but my favourite is that it comes from Oslo/Åslo. (Å = the sound of A in "ball") Ås meaning Gods, Lo meaning plain. So Oslo = Plain of the Gods :)
What this has to do under "arrows" is a different matter ::)

I am glad this mix up has been cleared up.
In any case Gaillard, I am assuming that this is readfox's name, asked me to help him in posting a picture of an artifact. I wanted him to start a proper thread on it but communication is a bit difficult due to the language barrier. I will therefore insert this picture into his post here, I also inserted it into another of his posts in the English Warbow forum. He can then answer any questions as well as add any information to this thread.

Cool. That looks like a good old fishing arrowhead. Possibly a trifork with one prong rusted off. It resembles a small version of the Norwegian "trifork" called "Lyster". Wich basicly looks like a huge comb on a stick. A huge comb with barbs... crazy norwegians ;D

I had never thought of putting a tri-point on the end of a fish arrow, Hmmmmm....I like crazy Norwegian thinking maybe ! I will try it this spring. Thanks ! ' Frank

Just thought I should post some pictures of the Norwegian/scandinavian "lyster" but I could only find one single picture ::)
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Aalstecher-Juster.JPG
The name comes from the method used when "lystring". The fishing was done (its illegal now) at night and one would shine a light down into the water, atracting the fish, then driving the spear into the fish. Light in norwegian is "lys" so lystring would be something like "lighting".
I got a pike (Esox lucius) with a lyster once when I was about 12 years old. The creature was 103cm long and dang near draged me out of my boat :D Funfact: Pikes (Nor: gjedde) is the only thing you can legaly hunt with bow and arrow in Norway :)
