Indo-Persian ? SEA? Pole arm head?

Hi,
please has anyone any infomation on this Pole arm head? The blade is 14" (36cms) long and approx. 2" (5cms) at its widest point. It is forged with sharp edges. The socket seems to be brass and is 6 1/2 " (16.5cms) long, the internal diameter is around 30 mm.

Quite likely cast around the base of the blade. I am informed by the seller that it is 17 C / 18 Century....certainly has age and evidence of 'many' sharpenings. The blade and socket appear much brighter than it actually is (flash).
Cannot ID origin, confirm age any help or comments would be appreciated, thankyou.
