Salaams weapons 27~ You are right; here's two more examples below.
Please see
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/7881368071843607/ from which I Quote" Worldantiques Antiques saved to Indo-Persian spears/lances and javelin. Indian (south) heavy spear / lance heads (sang), one marked with numeric armoury marking in the South Indian dialect ‘Kannada’ “3 79″ (the same language used in the Mysore armoury). 17th or 18th century or earlier, both are much bigger and heavier then most Indian spear heads seen, with leaf shaped blades, thick central spines, and swollen tips – made for real use. Faux Damascus pattern etched on the larger spear." Unquote.
