I just posted a shipload of data on migration period Anglo-Saxon spears over at the Sword Forum on page two of:

Mostly it covers spear lengths and possible diameters. I thought some of y'all might find it of use.

Honestly -unfortunately- he first thing I thought after reading that was,
"That means we're using stock twice as thick as it should be in the SCA. ...That means we'd have to adjust our helmets! Our eyeslots are twice as big as they ought to be anyway. Doh!!!"


Thanks for the research. It's greatly appreciated.

But only if you're doing migration age Anglo-Saxon scenarios. :D

A handy guide, but certainly not the last word. (Is there ever a last word?)
