Argentine Lance

[KAGGR#1]

I don't know what the lances are made of ?
If cut into 2 sections .
I have a couple of I G regiment flags
where the poles had to cut into 2 sections
for transportation .
They are wooden poles .
I drilled out the center of both ends and a screw
with threads at both ends . That put them back together
Then when I mounted them on the wall I had wire supports
on each side of the cut .
They have hung nicely ever since .
If the lances are metal
then you need a super drill bit .

I hope that I am not misreading your question, but here goes anyway. The imperial German cavalry lance was basically composed of a steel point, a brass section in the middle, a tapered steel butt end and two pieces of steel tubing on either side of the brass section (this section also served as the handle). The steel tubing was 26mm outside diameter with 1mm wall thickness. I guess this thin walled tubing accounted for all the bent lances that appear in period after-battle photos. Both ends of the handle, the tip and the butt all fit into the two tubing sections.

I have some break down photos but I cannot post them. I can send them by e:mail if someone wants to post them
