I know nothing of the weapons of India but this is absolutely beautiful! How do you keep finding these wonderful items? One thing though, this looks more like a javelin than any spear that I've seen. What is the weight?

Bill, looks like it is Indian, or Indo-Persian-Afghani. Very nice.

Beautiful example. I used to have one and sold it. I am betting this one is heavy, nicely balanced, and that its point and velocity would make short work of most shields and armour.

What a glorious thing. I love the decoration. Compere with this one. I think the African look becomes more clear.

AFRICA!!!!!
I will bet my last £ that this is also African. The brass and copper inlay along with the engraving is African. West African sahara type of work. I must say that to my mind this is a superb and not common item. Beautiful.
