A note to our foreign customers:
Due to the dimensional weight of our spears mounted on the shaft and the size restrictions on international shipping it is not possible to ship shafted spears overseas. They would cost literally hundreds of dollars to ship. The best option is to purchase the spear head and have a shaft made at your location for the spear. Even a custom shaft made to your specifications will be less expensive then the shipping from the US. Contact us via E-mail at aa@armor.com for price and shipping costs.
