Well it is a nice looking spear, but doesn't look like any Zulu spear I have seen.

Although I did see a socketed Zulu spear recently. Well lets say this, I did see a Zulu in Zululand with a socketed spear. So if a Zulu in Zululand had a socketed spear it must have been a Zulu spear...hey I think I could sell stuff on Ebay.

Hi Lew...Hi Douglas,
seems to be mainly the UK eBay 'market-place' that regular listings state Zulu for practically anything thats African. Doug we could start a wholesale business in Zulu spears....you send them in bulk, I'll bury them in the garden for a few weeks.....dig them up...then post on eBay as 'Rooke's Drift' bring backs ....sorted.....we'll make a killing (pun intended)

Thank you Katana, you are truly a punny guy.

Yes in no way is this Zulu.

Okay, I got the inventory, what's next?

Hi DD.
60 spears....in one shipment from SA to UK...... Mind you with the £100 - £150 price (it seems to be the 'average') ....should make £6000 -£9000..So how much for 60 with shippin? Ah..but we might 'flood' the market, with so many spears,and the price might drop badly........Doh the business decisions of us arms dealers..

..... (that's us not US(A)

The trick is to just release one or two a week to keep the demand high just like De Beers does

Actually I looked into buying them and they could bought. The trick was getting them from here to there. They have to be fumigated which drives the shipping charges up. Bulk it might work out. Suggestted to the wife. we get them and have them shipped with our hosehold good when we move back in three years. Her reaction was not overtly negative, but I do know I won't bring the subject up again. After 40 years of marriage I read her like a book, and there are chapters, I do not wish to revisit.
