Polish Hussar Lance/Spear examples?

Thanks for looking into it!

The Kopia is the hollowed lance with the ball, and I’m not convinced this is the remains of one. From what brief reading I’ve done, there were likely shorter, solid spears used in second wave attacks (infantry). Kopia were also single-use items, and this appears to have too much effort out into it to be disposable.

The hooks are too far down to be for overpenetration.

I should get some better info when it arrives.
