So it has arrived.
I didn't expect that the spear was reinforced in a such a sturdy manner; what a nasty lethal weapon this is.
It is now possible to figure out the mark is an eight pointed star. This type of marking is consistent with its aledged period (late XV beg. XVI century), as mentioned and shown in the work HAFTED WEAPONS IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE EUROPE by JOHN WALDMAN.
I hope the experts like Matchlock come around, to either confirm or correct this assumption.
