Which historical periods and Petersen classifications does this hand-forged spearhead cover, and how should the surface be cared for after use?

This hand-forged spearhead is modeled after archaeological finds from the 10th and 11th centuries (Viking period) and corresponds to type K according to the Petersen typology. Since it is made of steel and therefore susceptible to corrosion, it should be thoroughly dried after each use, regularly treated with a thin layer of preservative oil such as Ballistol, and stored in a dry place.
What requirements are placed on the wooden shaft for the Viking spearhead type K/M and how is the point securely attached to it?

A high-quality wooden shaft is recommended for the Viking spearhead, with ash wood being particularly suitable due to its stability. The shaft should have a diameter of approximately 23 to 32 mm, matching the inner diameter of the socket. For secure attachment, the spearhead features a long, slotted socket that is pushed deep onto the shaft. Before use, it must be ensured that the spearhead is firmly in place; historically and functionally, it is often secured with additional fasteners or by firmly screwing and tightening.
