Indonesian spears and blowdarts

Hello,
Between the sending which took a long time
and the Christmas New Year holidays, ( HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!)
I am only now showing you the pictures,
for the darts, no doubt given the packaging on the poison! 😅

thank you again Maurice for the details on the Ipoh tree !
I am placing some photos of the spear and the blowpipe.
they seem old to me and well made both the blade and the carved shaft + rattan
Do you have any idea what corresponds to a kind of '' stopper'' on the spear ?
maybe an attempt to make a blowpipe at the start?
The blades look very old is it possible that they are also darkened/poisoned ?
I don't think so but...
