African Spears - Origins?

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for the link, indeed extremely helpful. It seems there is no single comprehensive reference on spears in the same manner as found on many other weapons as well as even shields, which have singular focus in several references. I really have to hand it to the guys who really know this stuff, as they've had to really piece it together with a lot of hands on experience!
It seems the scope of your collecting interest has few bounds, looking forward to more of your great discoveries!!!

All the best,
Jim
