I have some East african arrows with large heads also unflethed which is normal. Also seen in melanesia. Not sure about the binding?

Hi Tim,
I took the 'iron point' at 7.75" to be the spear point/blade .....now I can see that the entire metal work (barbs and shaft) is 7.75" (looking at the scale... ie 1/3 the length )

I agree, an arrow ...probably not that old. Another lesson learnt....don't quickly 'scan' a post....you may draw the wrong conclusions

Kind Regards David
