Spearheads - where from?

russel · 9th November 2016, 02:14 AM

Hello all,

I recently won these two spearheads on eBay. While I am sure I have seen similarly shaped spears in the past, I can find nothing in my notes or any of my references. Does anyone have an idea where these spearheads may have originated from.

Cheers, Russel

Thank you, great to know the origin and see a complete example. As I would like to re-haft these, would you please tell me the length and thickness of the shaft on your example? Also, if you could provide a close-up image of the ferrule it would help me in having one fabricated. Is the ferrule silver or steel?

Cheers - Russel

The length and diameter of the spear shaft would be of great help.
