Can aneyone help me identify this spear?
 

I would be really grateful if anyone help me identify this spear
Many thanks.

As the blade is mounted to the shaft with a tang and animal hide binding, it would be from somewhere in Southern Africa, such as Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc... The longer shaft with weighted end probably indicates a hunting use, rather than warfare.

... and NOT zulu* ;) the thick blade x-section, twisted tang, lack of 'notching' at the blade/tang junction as well as the sudden increase in the end of the wooden shaft are not typical zulu.

* - everything seems to be described as 'possibly zulu' on certain auction sites. caveat emptor.

did your source mention any provenance? how long is it?

thank you for your help.
It is 121cm long and is very well balanced. Sadly there is no provenance with it.

more like a short javelin then.
