Quote:Could the sleeve not just be narrower than the shaft diameter?
I have a friend who does greeks and macedonian displays at schools, he cant fit a full size sarissa in his van so he has a coupling sleeve to make a long one. It just pushes together, and comes apart (with some pulling) it does not fall apart in use and is solid.
I am a fan of that method myself! My theory as well that once in half the business end of the "sarissa" could be used as a "dory". That would help in the tight spots like on city walls or in the jungles where a "sarissa" might be a little too long. Not having to carry another spear is helpful as well. The problem is we just don't know enough for certain to say "yea" or "nay" :? .
