Robert dilemmas a few thoughts though First lets say it as a javelin, how would you put a heavier shaft onto a small socket ? I would insert a piece of dowel in the socket and leave a couple of Inchs sticking out then on the heavier shaft bore a hole into it long enough to take the dowel and the first inch of javelin and glue it in, then a bit binding to stop splitting Next it could have been a javelin that the socket is damaged and has been cut back to a point it will only take a dowel ? Then the dowel inserted and a cast hollow lead weight slid down the shaft and glued/binded into place above metal socket. Now then if this is a Plumbata head then maybe it is another type of component manufacture where each part is separately made and then production line made as above. As my experiment with casting onto a socket it requires more work to achieve, where as to break it down into a process of separate components this will make it easier to make. Their are probably other ways of doing it but early in the morning need a cup of tea first
