Hi Jim and Ibrahiim,
Thanks for extra tit bits of information.
Image of traveling down the highway with lance brought a smile.
Reading a bit more on some sites I found the following bit of information
having langets on the lances was seen as an advantage as the heads could not be lopped off by a swords man
When the British model 1868 lance came out it was socket only which caused some consternation as experienced lancers felt that they could loose their lance heads in battle.
Another funny google when looking up the words lance and French is lance Armstrong and doping on the Tour de France 🇫🇷
Regards
Ken
