Is someone close to TIW? The notes I have for the pole of the 35th NC show metal "spear" app 1 foot long. Ley's drawing shows the total metal tip to be a foot long, but only 6-8 inches of it is a "blade" I do not know enough of the lancers/spears to know blade lengths etc. Also, if someone close could swing by and check on this to confirm, it may help.
