These are beautiful standalone display items (please note they are physically too long to store inside the quiver tube).Condition Notes (Please Read Carefully Before offerding):

- Structural Flaws: Features a clean, natural hairline age split running vertically along the bamboo body following the natural grain. Additionally, a section of the decorative rattan vine wrapping on the exterior has come uncoiled/unwound, though the strand remains intact.
- Fletching Condition: The natural feathers on the display arrows are completely intact and attached, but they show age wear, ruffling, and are brittle consistent with a true vintage specimen (fully detailed in close-up photos).Sold strictly AS-IS for display, study, or artifact restoration.
