Product description
This is a reconstruction of a Germanic spearhead used in southern Germany between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. The Germanic peoples called spears like this framms; the Romans called them framea. These spears were the Germanic peoples' primary weapons, used for both thrusting and throwing.
Similar examples have been found in England. This type of spear may have been brought to England by the Germanic peoples during the early medieval period.
Hand-forged from a single piece of carbon steel, this spearhead is sharp and not battle-ready. It has not been polished, so the hammer marks are 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.
