Viking “Carolingian” Spearhead

This spearhead is constructed in the style of Carolingian spearheads (although is does miss the characteristic “wings”) imported by the Vikings in the 9-10^th century.

Used as throwing weapons and as pikes, spears were an indispensable part of their daily routine.

This Viking spearhead is hand-forged from high-carbon steel and has a conical socket. The Viking spearhead has a hole at each side so that you can securely fasten it to the shaft of your choice (not included).
