Is the second side of "Spearhead of Dahmsdorf-Müncheberg" purposely left out because of the swastika on it?
[edit ]I'm perplexed to see only one side of the "Spearhead of Dahmsdorf-Müncheberg" in the image of it. It begs the question of whether the image of the other side of it was purposely left out since it, among other things, displays a little swastika. Here is how that spearhead looks like when half of it isn't mysteriously left out: http://rediscoveredpasts.blogspot.se/2016/01/gothic-spearheads.html Is there a way to incorporate this more complete image?

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I don't see any citation that it does. It could refer to Gothicized Volga Finns; Jordanes isn't reliable but refers to the Merens and Mordwins. It could refer to yet another group. 173.66.5.216 (talk) 21:52, 30 November 2017 (UTC) Reply
I'd very much like to see any notions about reading oranja for the Dahmsdorf-Müncheberg spear head. It's so obvious that I think a reference request is in order.
Found near Berlin, circular character before the word ... could it be ... Oranje? I mean, there's Oranienburg north of Berlin. This would be an anachronism, of course. A reasonable interpretation is needed.
The O in the Futhark is not usually round. Magic characters may be poorly understood, but could also stand for diphtongs or other values the Futhark didn't readily offer. It might even be a logogram, though comparison to Sumerian DIN.GIR, AN, may be a stretch. The script might spell out the logo, *hringaz, with a bit of leaway. There's Rangsdorf nearby, though I'm under no illusion that it's much older than the typical thorp around here, it's just the first one that came to mind. The I rune is hatdly legible in the image109.41.2.135 (talk) 14:18, 21 January 2020 (UTC) Reply
