Thumbs up Nice!

This edited picture is from C.Springs African Arms and Armour of Didinga warriors of southern Sudan. I also post pictures of a spear from the area and possibly Uganda. A hard knife like blade 28cm long, just the blade that is, with a heavy rib 1.5cm. The socket part is faceted. This form of spear is light and balanced for throwing and yet strong enough to use as a lance/shock weapon with a shield.
