Questions about the product Early Medieval Spearhead (25.5 cm) - Hand-forged

What material is the hand-forged early medieval spearhead made of, and is it delivered already sharpened or including a shaft?

The hand-forged early medieval spearhead is made of carbon steel. It is supplied unsharpened (but sharpened) and without a shaft or mounting hardware.
Is the early medieval spearhead suitable for staged combat or is it purely a decorative and collector's item?

This hand-forged early medieval spearhead is primarily designed as a collector's item, decorative object, or prop and is therefore not suitable for reenactment combat. The blade tip is not rounded, and while the edges are not sharpened, they are already ground. Furthermore, the carbon steel used is not stainless, so regular maintenance with general-purpose oil is recommended.
How is the early medieval spearhead attached to the wooden shaft, and are the necessary drill holes or fastening materials already included in the delivery?

The spearhead is attached to the wooden shaft via the socket. It is recommended to slide it onto the precisely fitting shaft and secure it with birch tar or glue; alternatively, holes can be drilled for attachment. A shaft and mounting hardware are not included.
Which historical finds served as a model for this early medieval spearhead, and for which Germanic tribes or eras is this specific form of ranged weapon characteristic?

This early medieval spearhead is based on historical finds from the 6th and 7th centuries, such as those documented in England. This specific form of ranged weapon is characteristic of Germanic tribes of the Merovingian and Carolingian periods, as well as the Viking Age, during which broad, leaf-shaped points with a slit socket were widespread.
