Runka
The Runka is a type of spear like thrusting weapon also known as the Corseque. The Runka originated in 15th century Italy it then spread to France and its usage was also seen just a little north of the Alps. The Runka has a bilateral projection a little way under the spear point, which is sometimes large with points bending upwards. Another version of this weapon is the Spetum or Frilauer Spiess where the points bend downwards.
