Research direction
The issue is a flipped sprite for the wielded spear. Look for the spear in hand sprite files in the codebase, likely under 'icons/obj/spear.dmi' or similar. The fix requires flipping the sprite orientation so it faces correctly when the player looks left or right. There are no linked PRs or comments, so this is open for a first time contributor.
