Throughout history many copies of the original spear were made. This video shows several of them. The documentary will give you a general idea of the travels of the Holy Lance in history, but don't get too "locked in" on their claims of veracity. There is a reason the Vatican will not show their version of the spear or have it tested for authenticity.
The spear held in Vienna was made in the seventh century and the one from Armenia is also dated much later than the Crucifixion.
Keep in mind, our research trail is with the
Spear of Antioch
which has the clearest provenance to the original holy blood relic.
