Hello! Very interesting once again.
May I ask how the head is attached to the shaft? Am I right in assuming the metal end is merely firmly inserted into the shaft?
I was in Chesters museum at the weekend and two of the pieces in the arrowhead display cabinet looked suspiciously plumbata like to me! No lead weight, but the section of the metal end looked very similar to the drawings in the David Sherlock short paper you sent me (also without the pin).

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
