Dr. Ian H. Longworth, Assistant Keeper, Department of British and Medieval Antiquities, British Museum, identified the illustrations as matching one of the eight Greenwell collection spears, reg. no.

page 114 note 2 The Greenwell collection still contains eight spear-heads, reg. nos. W.G. 1272–8 and 1911.10–21.7; a ninth, ‘? Heathery Burn’, reg. no. 1875. 4–1.37 preceded the acquisition of the main collection, and together with the Melbourne spear, with which it is closely associated typologically, may be assumed to have come from a separate source (q.v. pl. xliv).
