African spear
Hello
I picked up this spear at a local car boot sale I was told it was zulu but obviously not as it is socket attached rather than tang attached to shaft I looks to have age and as you can see from the last picture my son liked it so I bought it I am thinking it is from Congo from my back post searching but would anyone be able to confirm this also do you think it is a large animal hunting spear? Best regards Ken |

...I agree. The shaft has been cut down - some are very long.

Hi people,
Thanks for information, nice to get some information on the spear And the link was very informative The shaft is not bamboo though but I presume there was a lot of variation on this Interesting I live not too far wolseley,s old estate so a soldier bring back brings up some ideas. Best regards Ken |
