Strange that Shaka had a socketted spearhead and the rest of the Zulu's used those with a tang ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...6837&rd=1&rd=1 |

I emailed the seller on this one and asked him the same question. He told me he has a vivid imagination but he also has extensive knowledge when it comes to antiques ![]() Lew |

I think "a vivid imagination" ...is an understatement ![]() ![]() I have to agree that the Sudan or Congo are likely....Shaka certainly "got around"...... ![]() Regards David, Emperor of the known world, Sultan of the seven seas.....Darn, ......that vivid imagination must be contageous ![]() ![]() |

The moderators may spank me for this. But here is a link to the theme for the movie Shaka Zulu. The Video shows Shaka played by Henry Cele developing the iKlwa from umKhonto.
The Spear in the video is a large heavy spear and the only Spear in the movie this big. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...69968701340204 I have yet--notice the word yet--to see an iKlwa as big as that one in the movie. Catchy tune by the way! Here"s the ones I have acquired so far. ![]() Note none of these are anywhere near 31 inches. Nor is the one in the Shaka Zulu trailer that big and it is a big spear! 31 inches is more like a Sword. Just to wet your appetite here are some I ran onto last week ![]() ![]() |
