Most of my small Viking spear collection. Most wood poles are staffs from Purpleheart Armory.
Top is a Winged Spear from a Polish Smith who I have sadly forgotten his name. next is a pattern welded spear from Balaur Arms, bought from Kult of Athena
Next is a Winged Leaf Blade Spear made by Peter Szabo earlier in his career, based on a historic piece I found in a museum in Stockholm Then lastly is a Windlass Viking spear.

About the winged one I have read before. It is believed to be a import from the frankish empire, 8th - 9th century if I remember correctly.

There were a few that I saw that are at that museum. Slightly different lengths and condition. Certainly could have been part of a imported shipment.
