Many thanks for the suggestion. I did consider that it might be a Tuareg Allarh (because of the flaring end of the iron butt), but I wasn't wholly convinced. Perhaps my first instinct was right after all.

How about French colonial? the famous Spahis and that kind of thing. Just a guess, but that Tuareg type butt seems most unusual for a British spear.

Years ago I had a Taureg spear... {Only ever owned 3 spears..
 }It also had 3 inlayed brass rings. I personally don't think it colonial army either British or French. I think Tribal North west Africa... Taureg or similar... But I would have thought some people on the forum, who specialise in such things, would be more certain or pass comment?  Spiral |

Better images would help. Including the entire spear. It is certainly west African. Tuareg is possible but so are a few other groups.

Hello,
Is this not from Madagascar? I thought that particular flush socket-shaft construction with collars and flared but was a distinct feature of Malagasy spears. Regards, Emanuel |
