A spear ... or assegai. Tourist or real ?

[fernando]

I asked its price, strongly thinking i wouldn't probably buy it, though .
The young lady seller said, you can have it for free ... just don't let my old mother know it .
It has one meter total length. The binding is made of brass wire, much thinner than usually seen ( to my layman experience ). The butt spike is so little, i wonder if this was only for fixing some missing decoration. The wood is strong and heavy.
My questions are: could this be a tourist goody, or is it the real thing? From what region or tribe?
Thanks for comenting.
