Description
The name is derived from the Latin espietus, spedus (spear). This weapon was a smaller version of the partisan and was used as an officer's weapon. In the 18th century, German officers were armed with spontoons. This weapon was abolished around 1770. PLEASE COMMENTS.

the web sight at meuseum replicas has a few good examples of spears you can use to guage your accuracy in this rendering. for asthetics you may wish to define the transitions in your coves, and andles with difinative lines for break points, as the eyes tends to just slide down the length of the spear head the way it is now. That idea comes from wood working, turning round stock on a lathe, I belive the same idea would apply here.

Nice picture but the uhh Shaft i reckon or whatever it was called looks a little thin and brittle. Wouldn't it break?
