Help needed on Pilum - Aryan Steels - 05-24-2014
Hello to all,
Though we make pilums and in an endeavour to make them more close to original findings,we need your help.
I would appreciate any pic or construction plan for pilum that is close to originals with measurements.
I am sure that all respected members will help us to make pilum more acceptable by giving their suggestions/advises
Regards,
Suhel

HI....A Pilum is a throwing weapon, it changed over many years. Can you say what era you want your Pilum from please?
There are many examples in the archeological record, but of what era do you require?
Aso styles of Pilum overlapped eras, as did swords ,daggers, etc.

I think it's a generic principate Pilum from talking to Suhel.
Would be great to see a Republican Pilum on the Market. Or a Spiculum.
