But it looks sort of Indonesian too.
![]() does the length given include the tang? |

doesn't look european, indonesian/SEA spear point a good bet. not really a spontoon. i'm taking the length given as the tang only.

The seller announced that it was Indonesian. And for me it corresponds. I didn't make an offer because I had great doubt that it's a recent manufacture (or not?).
When I started my collection I had been deceived by recent tombak but aged to make antique. Since I try not to take any risk, even if it4s possibly a very good deal. ![]() |

I initially thought Dutch influence so consider either Sri Lankan or Indonesian ...Peculiar loops behind the spear blade suggest a Palace Guard as opposed to a jungle tribal weapon...
