WW1 Fletchet?

[Quatermass]

Seen in a auction 'A WWI FLETCHET EARLY ROYAL FLYING CORPS WEAPON - DROPPED FROM AIRCRAFT INTO THE ENEMIES TRENCHES'
Is it a RFC Fletchet and if so is it worth anything?

Hi not seen one like that before , but if you go to the RAF museum at Hendon there is a display case with some in , in the early days anything with a point would be thrown at the enemy, so this might very well be one
i often see the more normal fletchettets ? sold at Watford ams fairs for anything between twenty to fifty pounds on ebay as much as Eighty pounds
Best wishes
