I thought that I would bring this thread back up to see if anyone might have found any new information on this that might help to identify its place of origin or if possibly one of our newer members might have any information about this spear that they might like to add. Not being able to correctly identify and give a positive place of origin to this has been maddening.

Hello Robert,
I just received a mail from a friend in Great Britain who is an expert for the weapons from mainland SEA, he have seen your thread and this is what he write me: This spear is from the Tonkin area in North Vietnam and can be found also in areas from Laos. The two rings are a simple way to hold the tang in place and typical for this spears. Best regards, Detlef |

Detlef, Thank you and your British friend. I think I know who he might be, but I lost his email address the last time my email host crashed their system and have been slowly adding them back as I find them. So does he know if this might possibly be a Montagnard spear?
Best, Robert |
