Did I mention how much I hate eBay's new picture system ?
Yes, I did win this one. I'll let you know about the pits when I get it. I've been looking for a twist core spear for awhile. So I guess it found me. As to the weight I agree with Battera. They are much faster then you would suspect, and the weight has to be sufficent to make a slash possible.

"Considering the superb craftsmanship found in this spear head I am inclined to think it may have been created as a display piece, either purely for display, or for some ceremonial purpose."

I also have agreement with this and the twist core thing, but that will be another thread.
