Obol javelins... Nathan Burgess, Tue Nov 17 02:58

I came into posession of a brand new silver Obol W.F javelin. Confirms to IAAF regulations 1985-1986. By brand new I mean never thrown, still in the plastic. I know they cannot be used anymore, but does anyone have any information on them? All I know is that they're French.

Next week I turn 60 and time to lighten the spear to 600 grams. I had to take some time off due to a shoulder injury, but feels like it should be ready to come back and play. Any suggestions on a good implement? I throw in the mid to high 40 meter range with the 700. Thanks!
