Thank you all for your kind responses.
I would have to look at the auction's description again, but I think the provenance was just "German". It was sold at the German auction house "Hermann Historica" among other items some years ago.
The socket has one artificial hole and some others due to corrosion. The roman spear head you showed does indeed look very similiar, but I think there are some Alemannic spears that also look like this. Could have been a common shape during the roman and migration eras?
Thanks again
Peter
