Spear Head
I've had this for a while though, for the life of my I cannot recall where I got it.
Click to expand it. The head is robust and clearly made to be used. There are no marks on it except for some minor hammer marks on the neck, below the blade. Any thoughts? - Last edited by fernando; 20th December 2023 at 09:23 AM. Reason: Link to picture inappropriate |

Problem is that you cannot control the size.

Excelent, Ed ... both picture and object .
Great early halberd indeed. Have you identified the maker's mark ? I don't find this exact configuration in my miserable library. The closest (?) i have from your perfect example is this Sempach type one. . |

Hi Ed, this general form of spear head is really common and found widely in SE Asia and elsewhere. It's been around for a long time and you may not find a specific origin for it.
