Actually I was thinking the same thing, but for ceremonial use?

I concur.
The wire work is unmistakable, the wood looks correct and exactly two tone as I have seen on several others I owned in the past, and there is a subtle notch at the base of the blade that most, if not all, Zulu assegai possess. I would think its early to mid 20th century, as it does not appear to have the smooth wear/patina of earlier pieces. |
