How were they used? Looks like an arrow

Devious weapons, especially when thrown by the hundreds on cavalry or in the trenches.

Evil looking piece, for sure, had -0- clue they were used in WW I. In all my reading about aerial conflict in WWI, 1st I've heard about them.
Very cool (in an awful way), though, thanks for sharing the piece & photos.

Pure terror from the sky. If a pilot was captured how well would they be treated? daniel tarr817j

Standard WWI-weapon before bombs were used. I don't understand Your posting in this case.

Kind regards, Peter
