Thanks guys. Rick, the spear is fairly complete but unknown if all parts are original. It has a long brass sleeve where the spearhead is inserted and below that the wood looks as though it may have had a metal brace or ferrule at one time. The base of the spear is wood that has been left fatter than the rest of the shaft. It may have been covered at one time but is not now. Hard to photograph such a long spear but here are a few pics of what I am talking about.
