Another example of a possible head for a menavlion is a find from the 11th century shipwreck found at Serçe Liman1 (off southern Anatolia) at http://ina.tamu.edu/SL-tools.htm - look particularly at the thrid photo in left-hand column, which has a scale of centimeters for comparison. I reckon that bigger spearhead is about 30cm (12") long. And also look at the "boar-spear" photo third from the top in the left-hand column. Unfortunately, no scale given and no source quoted.
