Default Spear from...?

while oiling my collection, came to this one, i do not think i've posted it here before. picked it up on ebay a number of years ago shortly after i found ebay. it if i recall was of course billed as a 'zulu' spear head. i learned much later it was not likely to be zulu as it's socketed, etc.

any idea where it does come from?

15" LOA, 12" blade, 1 5/8" max width, central ridge distal tapered from the 1/2" sq. base area to the point. 3" tapered socket is roughly 3/4"dia. at the opening. some pitting but generally has a nice dark patena. evidence of forging laminations in one area.



shaft and leather joint cover was added by me when i didn't know better
