Is that the spear of Longinus?

Is that the spear of Longinus?

I prefer the term Spear of Destiny, but yes, it is indeed one of the Holy Lances believed to have peirced the side of Christ. This particular one however, appears to have belonged to Constantine the 'Great'. Wrapped in the gold is a nail that historians say is consistant with a 1st century AD Roman nail.

I want it.

Got that one as an electric guitar in bright red.

I want to be at home instead of at my parents (mistake happened while hopping trains...).

When I hear or read the words Spear Of Destiny I think Kirk Brandon (maybe that's me showing my age)
I'm guessing as secondhand spearheads go that this one isn't cheap & doesn't crop up on ebay much.
If you don't mind me asking do you want it for religious reasons or historical?

Wait, didn't Hitler own it for a while? I bet that's it. No idea why anyone would want to own something he did, but....

I have heard that but I thought it was possibly a myth.

I don't know from the specific article, but Schickelgruber was interested in the occult, and Christian
mysticism, so it wouldn't surprise me if he sought such a thing. 

Of course, I am quite skeptical as to the provenance of the whole thing, but that's a separate matter.

Here's another source.
http://www.ufodigest.com/news/0709/spear-of-destiny.php
And it's from a UFO website, so you know it's scientific.

But I'm fairly sure he actually was in possession of the spear, as it was found and currently is in Vienna.

Anyway, there are a few reasons.
First of all, it's a rather beautiful object, and I have some bizzare tendency to want random pretty items.
Secondly, it did change the course of human history, [if] it was actually being used to nail Jesus to the cross, and seeing as it [may have been] Constantine's spearhead, he might of actually used it in combat, and random chance could have led to him getting a banjy spear, resulting in his death. So, either way it's an incredibly important artifact. Also, Keanu Reaves had one in that awesome, but unfaithful movie

Ok I know I have too much time on my hands to think when I am working, but it beats actually concentrating on the road.
Let's say Christ existed & that this was the actual spear that was used on him. If it was examined scientifically & they found minute traces of Christ's blood on it & was able to examine his DNA. Would that make the spear not only The Spear Of Destiny but The Holy Grail as well?
