Spear Identification?

[David]

I did find some talk of these on an archery forum, but i'd love to find out more for my friend's sake.

I changed the thread title to reflect "arrow" rather than spear.

Anyone else has some tidbits here. I tried searching our archives, but found very little on arrows from Luzon. Bill posted some arrows in this thread that may well be PI, but they seem a bit different from this in the shaft so i'm not sure they are from the same area.

The fletching looks either Negrito or Igorot. Both are from Central/Northern Luzon. There are similarly shaped arrow heads shown in Krieger's plates elsewhere on this site—those hunting arrowheads are detachable and ascribed to the Negritos.

There is some information also in Fox's article on The Pinatubo Negritos, part of which is found here.

Thanks Ian.

Most interesting thread! Never seen something similar before!

Here is one more image of this arrow with the companion that my friend recently acquired. Seems there's not a lot of information about these floating around the web, unless i've just been using the wrong key words. Would it be fair to consider these a rare find?
