Title: I'm trying to find this spear head
Post by: Penchante on April 22, 2011, 02:13:40 PM
I found a spear head on Kult of Athena that looks soooooo nice.  Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere else.  I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand?

I don't know the name of the wholesaler(s) we were getting them from, but back in the weapon collecting/reselling days, we had many similar. It is generally referred to as a "Viking Thrusting Spear", if that helps any.

Not exactly the same, but probably more authentic would be the Greed Javelin at Arms & Armor.

Found one that is pretty close but is about 2.5 times as much.  It is also on a 72" pole as opposed to 46".  Might be better off to contact Kult of Athena and ask when they expect to have more.  Here's the link to the one I found.  http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Viking_Spear_AH-3536.html (http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Viking_Spear_AH-3536.html)

Thanks for that find Dragonlord!  I'm seriously considering.  KoA said that the particular spear head I want wouldn't be in for "several months", hence the looking elsewhere.   ::)
