Thanks alot Freddy

, nice spearheads

I really like this type of spear head ...not because they are so 'evil' looking..but because of the skill of the forging. Thank you for the extra information, I am surprised that this style of spear only appears in a defined area, you would expect the design to be copied by neighbouring tribes and then copied by their neighbouring tribes and so on. I suspect that the blacksmith's skill required to make these, is the reason why the design did not 'travel',

Regards David
