Persian cavalry lance?

Hi, I tried to attach photos to my post earlier by pasting; not sure if that can work or not; yes, I tried reading the thread on photos, but A/ it contains a dead link and B/ I don't know enough about digital photography to very well make heads or tales of it. So, if my earlier attempt was incompatible, please disregard it. This is a spear I picked up that I think may be a Persian Cavalry lance. Any thoughts or input are solicited.

A sturdy armor piercing point of square section with broadened cutting wings at the base and a ten-sided faceted socket. Lightweight, compact, Deadly.

Arete, I think a larger more detailed image is need for any attempt at identification.

rather surprised that I got a reply; I received no notice and had frankly suspected no one could see my posts. Not sure how a crisper picture would help ID since the entire shape is clearly visible in this one, but in any event I sold the spear some time past.
