Jef,
I don't know, but I DO know that I ordered the brass, rounded one I used on mine from Peronis, for a very reasonable amount.
I'll let Peronis or one of the other more knowledgable Batavians answer your original question, but I figured I'd let you know where I got mine in case you were looking for one and these pointed ones were not indicated.
Regards,

Since I have not been able to obtain a copy of the below mentioned book, I am not familiar with its contents. Nonetheless the title sounds promising for obtaining an answer to your question.
Good luck and best wishes,

Hi Jef,
It was not from DPKa, it was a spun, brass umbo that was made by a friend of Peronis. You can see it in the "Show your Roman Impression" thread on my COH I BAT impression clipeus.

Hi Jef
There is a drawing of 2 "germanic" umbos in :
L'equipement militaire d'epoque republicaine en Gaule.
by Michel Feugere
Journal of Roman Militairy Equipment Studies 5 1994
In our region the problem is that these umbos are dated as early medieval.
