With the discovery of metal, spears became much more effective. In just about all cultures metal butt caps were used to protect the base of the shaft, and to add balance to the overall weapon. Can be used for any spear since the beginning of the Iron Age. Well made from mild steel, this butt cap has a generic look that does not represent any one specific time or place, so it can be for any period. Ready to mount. 4 7/8" overall.

Made by Windlass.
