Iron javelin
Iron javelin is a tier 10 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 4 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Iron javelin is to buy it: Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock sells it for 8 coins, and 4 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Hobgoblin (level 18, 1/128); the best rate is Hobgoblin (elite) (level 35), at 5/50, about 30 per kill. It is worn in the main-hand weapon slot at tier 10 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Iron javelin is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 4 coins, which is 4 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
