Conische schachtkap, handgesmeed, scherp Festival tassen providing additional protection and makingThis butt cap is made after originals that were used between the 1st century BC and the 13th century. Butt caps protected the back of the shaft from wear. In themselves, these points were also powerful weapons! This also allowed the warrior to use the back of the spear as a weapon. They were used for javelins such as the Roman pilum as well as for cavalry spears and Germanic and Viking spears.
