These tanged javelin head fitted into the wood end of the haft and then bound, the theory being if it hit something hard it would split open and become either a more serious wound or an inactive weapon
Javelins were used as a short ranged disruptive weapon before shield walls closed for combat.

Living History is making history come to life, and there are groups around the country that weekend in and weekend out (and some days in between) will set up a living history encampment, although at the moment my pages are focused generally upon the Migration, Saxon/Viking age, many of the items are transferable to other periods such as Roman and Crusade and earlier/later.
We hope this section can provide you with items to enhance your display, and if you're not a re-enactor, then also to enhance your home.
Please note that some wooden items may no longer be in stock throughout event season however please contact me to replicate anything you may see and like.
