Brilliant photo! Thanks!
This tells me exactly what I wanted to know. Of course if anybody has details about this weapon--OA length, what the RA calls it, where it's from, etc.--that'd be nice to know. It differs significantly from the Hero Spear in ways I can't correct (that star-shaped
cross-section, mainly). But still, I've never seen such a weapon in a 16th c. context, and would love to know more about it. Do you know anything about it, Nathan?
I'm now thinking that I may turn the Hero Spear into a Vouge Francais, by the way. It seems to have what I need for that. But I do love the spear in this photo....hmmmmmm....And I do now have evidence of such long, lanceolate spearheads in use in the period....hmmmmmmm.....
Thanks again for the wonderful photo!
