Product description
The spearhead is a reconstruction of a Germanic example used in southern Germany between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. Spears of this type were called framms by the Germanic peoples; the Romans referred to them as framea. These spears served as the Germanic peoples' primary weapons and were employed both for thrusting and throwing.
Similar examples have been found in England. It is considered possible that this type of spear was brought to England amongst the Germanic peoples during the early medieval period.
This example is hand-forged from a single piece of carbon steel. It is sharp and therefore not battle-ready. It has not been polished, so the hammer marks remain clearly visible.
The spearhead is 24.5 cm long, the blade is 12 cm, and the socket length is 12.5 cm. It fits a shaft of approximately 22 mm diameter. It weighs about 210 grams.
