Thank you Vandoo.
My other african piece was posted here last thursday, in a thread titled "African spear". It's a four inch blade throwing spear, with a wire braided collar. It appears that its haft may well be a replacement, so not a safe reference.
The new thing in this present one, for me, is the way the haft is secured to the blade, a solid piece of steel, instead the usual bindings with wire, or fibres, or leather. I thaught this could be a reference for its origin or period of making.
Kind regards
