Product description
This is a reconstruction of a Germanic spearhead that was used in southern Germany between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. Spears like this were called framms by the Germanic peoples; the Romans called them framea. These types of spears were the Germanic peoples’ primary weapons and were used both for thrusting and throwing.
Similar examples have been found in England. It is possible that this type of spear was brought to England with 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 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.
