Caltrops |
| The foot soldier's friend. Caltrops came in many different forms, but they all had the same purpose to stop horses moving in specific areas. They are designed so when thrown, no matter how it lands, one spike will always land pointing up providing a hazard to the soft under part of a horse's hoof and a foot soldier's boot come to that. | |

Caltrop £20 each

|
| This caltrop was commissioned by a local museum. It would be of interest to re-enactors from several periods. It is of course only intended to be used as a display piece. | |
