There are numerous references, written and visual, pertaining to Mamluk armour, swords, metalwork, paper, glass, ceramics etc but as yet I have not been able to find any "real examples" of the spears or even spear heads they carried except for a few battle standards.

I have viewed many depictions of these spears/lances in lithographs and drawings of old but have been unable to find any within museums or catalogues....I know they are out there though.

Can anyone help point me to these spears if they know of them.

Thanks
