Hi Duncan, as ever your painting skills are brilliant. But, the head of the pilum is probably too bright as they were lead not iron in real life. As you would know, while metal, lead dulls down very quickly when exposed to the air so it would not have that silvery effect. In case you were wondering, the reason they were lead was so that once they struck their target, usually a shield, the neck would bend making it impossible to go on using the shield with this stupid spear stuck into it. If the metal was iron, then the target could easily lever out the pilum from his shield and continue being a nuisance.

Just checked my books. The recent study of “Roman Imperial Armour” by Sim and Kaminski (2012), p.68-69 suggests it was probably not blued or blackened but rather polished. On the few contemporary images that survive it is generally painted in white or silver, which would hint at polished bare metal.
