European Boar Spear Head

Built for collectors who appreciate early hunting weapons and Germanic warfare, this European boar spear head captures the rugged practicality of a form designed for dangerous game. With its broad profile, pronounced central ridge, and protective lugs, it reflects the kind of spearhead valued when a hunter needed reach, stopping power, and control in a close and violent encounter. Whether mounted for display or added to a historical spear project, it has the strong visual presence that makes boar spears so distinctive.

Lugged spears of this type were associated with hunting large and aggressive animals, especially wild boar, where the side lugs helped prevent the wounded animal from surging too far up the shaft. That feature made the spear more than a simple thrusting weapon. It was a practical tool shaped by real danger. Forms like this also fit naturally into the wider spear traditions of early European and Germanic cultures, where spears served not only in war but also in the hunt, making them among the most important weapons of the age.

Hand forged by Windlass Steelcrafts from tough high carbon steel, this spear head features a reinforced centre ridge for added strength and a wide socket ready to be mounted on a wooden dowel. The overall length measures 18 1/2 inches, with a 9 1/2 inch spear head and a width of 3 1/2 inches. The socket is 1 3/8 inches wide, and the piece weighs 2 lbs 4 oz. The edges are not sharpened, and the pole is not included. For collectors of historical hunting arms, Germanic weapons, and spearheads with real purpose behind their design, this is a striking piece with authentic character.
