A Most Unusual Zulu Spear

No that would be mere speculation...............but it did belong to Shaka Zulu, LOL.
Yes, it could certainly have belonged to other past South African Tribes, but I based my attribution of it being a Zulu spear due to its construction and the wire work; the irony of it being manufactured between 1875 - 1895, by a British Company during the height of the Zulu Wars seemed to call for another explanation.
