Here some pictures from 3 spear or arrow I don't know the exact name ,the bigger one is around 90 cm .
I Would like to know if they are good and authentic ,according to the seller they are from beginning 20 th century. I my eyes the first one should be the older ( the wood etc..) the second one may be ,the last one I have more doubts . I hope that someone in this forum could tell me more about those weapons Regards CERJAK |

ITS NOT MY SPECIALITY BUT AS NO ONE ELSE HAS JUMPED IN I WILL GIVE IT A TRY. #1 LOOKS OLD AND IS A SPEAR
#2 I WOULD GUESS SPEAR INSTEAD OF ARROW DUE TO THE WEIGHT IF IT WAS AN ARROW THE RANGE WOULD BE VERY LIMITED. #3 APPEARS TO BE SOLID IRON, I WOULD GUESS TUEREG SHORT SPEAR WEAPON OR STAFF DENOTING RANK. NOT MUCH HELP BUT BETTER THAN DRAWING A BLANK :shrug: |
Dear VANDOO
Thank you to have open the discution on this thread ,I hope it will have somebody who could tell more about those spears. Regards Cerjak |
I cannot be sure but the shorter one with the spade like shoe is from the Southwest Sahel. Presumeably French West Africa, vast region?
