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 Antoine, that's a great help.
Does the ferrule taper, or is it the same diameter along it's length? Cheers, Russel |

Would anyone hazard a guess as to how old these spearheads may be? Cheers, Russel |
