As for age, I tend to think 1940s-1950s, mostly because I have a 1950s era walking stick from my grandfather, and it has a similar patina.

As for the decorations, I'm a bit troubled by the "lime" on the spearhead, because it is white near an edge area that is battered. To me, this suggests that the pattern was (re)colored more recently than the edge damage. "Lime" is in quotes because it could be something else, like powdered paint or chalk, in addition to real lime.
