As part of an ongoing project, I've made this set of weapons.  Drawing (mostly) from bronze age examples, they are meant to act as a psuedo replacer of the base game weapons for a specific purpose.  I'm sharing them here now in case people would like to use them in game now.  This is one set of hopefully multiple - I will upload them here.

These weapons are Iron tier, with the same stats and crafting requirements as their vanilla counterparts, save for the bow and arrows.  The Greatbow and Great-Arrows are designed for precision sharpshooting, featuring longer range and damage in exchange for a much longer draw time.  Great-Arrows also have increased weight in survival.
All weapons can be crafted at any standard forge, and upgraded at a sharpening wheel.  They are all named starting with "Crude Iron", hence their degraded and shoddy appearance.  All of their stats, crafting and upgrade recipes are the same as the vanilla iron weapons, save for the Greatbow and Great-Arrows which have increased requirements reflecting their superior performance (not extensively tested for balancing - feedback would be appreciated).
If you like the weapons, and want to use them at higher levels, try taking some smithing perks.  Say, maybe, Advanced Armors and Dwarven?  You might be pleasantly surprised.

I will be working on more weapons in the coming days and weeks.  I will update this page with more once I feel they are ready.   Up next is Steel.

Please let me know if you find any issues with these weapons, if there's anything you'd really like to see that's in keeping with the theme, and I'd love to see your glamour shots! 

Thank you everyone!  I hope you enjoy!

Update:
Added Forsworn Greatshields and Shortspears, Greatbows and Great-Arrows.  Use AddItemMenu to access the new weapons, or SPID to distribute them to NPCs.
