OSS Crossbow arrow

Designed in 1943 and built and tested later that year, the OSS experimented with a series of crossbows in an effort to provide an effective silent weapon. This steel and aluminium, bodkin tipped, penetrating arrow was designed for use in the \'Big Joe 5 Crossbow\' . Although field trialled and exported to England it was not thought any of the crossbows were used in anger although their performance was impressive, in the case of the Big Joe 5 firing an arrow at 180fps out to 80yds.
In excellent condition.
