African Spear - Zulu?

Hi all, a friend of mine has this spear. It isn't mine ...yet, but I was wondering if it is in fact Zulu. Is this a tourist piece and the real deal?

Hi Sabertasche,
I would say definately not Zulu.... could be Sudanese, I don't think its Congolese. Tim, Lew, Freddy are amongst others whom could give you a more detailed answer.

Kind Regards David

I asked about the base part and the guy says he's lost it somewhere so The end is just tapered to fit the end.

Sorry,
