I wonder if Aiglos was a spear for use on foot or mounted? I could imagine Gil Galad resplendant in finery on a gaily caparisoned horse, charging at the head of Elven knights, almost definitely bad news for the poor snagas on the other side!

I'd imagine the fight with Sauron was on foot, as it may have proved tricky to get a horse up Orodruin (unless they took Sauron's road?) and a horse woud be unlikely to tolerate the presence of Big S.

Perhaps an 8ft to 12ft spear capable of being used mounted or on foot would be appropriate. Perhaps its staff was painted in a eye catching design, something not unknown in our history.

I don't think it would have resembled the Roman spear, the pilum, as this was generally used to throw at the enemy, apart from a few occasions where it was weilded as a spear to ward off enemy cavalry.
