Unusual Palmwood Spears

[Kmaddock]

Hi All,

I picked up these two spears at the weekend in clearance auction.

They are made of Palm wood, I think, and one end on each one is wrapped in iron.

They are not exactly the same nor are they symmetrical with overall length of 180 and 175 cm

lovely balance to them, comfortably heavy and feel good in the hand.

There is Japanese/Chinese symbol on one of them which might translate to Metal or Gold.

Anyone any idea on what I have?

Regards

Ken
