What can anyone tell me about this?

Mark, no the auction is over--I was the only bidder it appears luckily for me. Tom I was just wondering if it could possibly have been a spear as its shape is similar to other spear points I have seen but I also have seen illustrations of similar Sudan and central African daggers/swords that weren't originally spears. I am rather unfamiliar with this weapon. I was told that it was probably in excess of 100 years in age but I don't know how to determine that.

Thanks all for your input!

Gary
