Hi Fernando,

From what you write, you don’t have the whole shaft, so we don’t know how long it has been. I think it must have been fairly short – but I am no specialist at all, so take it with a grant of salt. If you are willing to give up a little part of the rest of the shaft, specialists can give you an age and tell you what kind of wood the shaft was made of. Thinking that you are not too fond of this, we are out guessing. I seem to remember that I have seen Danish spears from the 17th c. like this one, used for wild boar hunting.

Was it an eath found????

Jens
