I'm looking for early period spearheads, maybe viking or greek, simple and good construction. I need about 10 or so, so price is an factor. Any ideas or links would be great!

If you're willing to put some sweat equity into them you could do what I did years ago: Buy some sidewalk scrapers---basically hoes with the blades in line with the shafts rather than set at 90 degree angles to them---cut them to a point and remove the paint coating that comes on them. Polish as desired, sharpen if needed. I made a couple for about $20 each and the labor it took to hacksaw, sharpen, polish and blue them. Looked pretty nice when finished. You may have to look hard to find one with an integral socket rather than one with the blade bolted into a separate ferrule any more.

Marshal,
Do you happen to have any pictures of the spear you describe? I would like to see how that turned out.

Alas, I don't have a digital camera, or know how to put pictures online if I DID have one. I can just about work this computer. Beyond that I am not exactly what one could call technologically adroit.
I'll see if I can find someone who could do it. It may take awhile.
