It may be a tanged head stuck in a heavy ferrule .

The profile is similar; the Mandaya spears in my collection have blades that are sword thick (1/4") or less; much thinner in cross section than a Moro spear.

I really haven't seen enough of these to get much of an opinion on standards .
I remember Bill had acquired a beautiful example in the not so distant past .

Paging Bill M.

Here we are .
