Late roman hasta tip help, please!

[Iosephus]

Avete!

One member of our beloved LegIAd is going late roman (end of 3rd, beginning of 4th century). His kit is almost done but the guy would like to have a proper hasta tip forged by a professional craftsmen.
("I'm only a messenger" because he is too shy to use his English skills :oops: )

So it would be very helpful if somebody could provide me (ergh him, ergh the weaponsmith, ergh never mind) a hasta plan or link (with dimensions would be the best) of that period.

Thanks a lot in advance!

He is a passive RAT-er, so if you give me (or him, or..) any info here, he will find it.

Thanks once more!

:wink:

Thank you gentlemen I'm very grateful!

Robert what are the dimensions of your tip? The report sais the measurments range from 4 and a half to 12 and a half inches.

I think yours could be about 10 inches together with the shaft?
