Default Nice Old Tuareg Spear?

Hi Tim,Freddy and All

This nice old spear arrived today! It looks like a late 19th century Tuareg spear? It's in great condition the seller was able to separate the three pieces so no cutting of the shaft took place I popped everything back together and it now has a place of honor in my trophy room. Let me know what you think?

Hi Lew, very nice spear, may also be Sudanese.This is my all metal Tuareg lance, note the mail penetrating blade.The spikes at the base of the blade have been bent in, shame. I dare not do anything about it.Tim

Hello friends, very beautiful spears!
Hello Lew your spear don't seems to me Tuareg. The spear of Tim is tipical Tuareg, yours could be from other region like East Africa or Sudanese like Tim says. Anyway great piece!!

Hi Guys

Thanks for the input. The reason I thought it was Tuareg is that Artzi has one listed on his website and mine is a dead ringer compared to his.
