Dear members ,
I would like to submit you a lot I bought during an auction coming from Baron von Hochstetter collection , Düsseldorf.
I am more keris collector orientated and know nothing about spears so would be happy to understand a little bit more on the origin of these head spears .
Looks like possible different origins ( Aceh ? Sulu Archipelago ? Sumatra ... )

HEAD SPEAR 4 : overall > 380 mm

Note the difference in colour on the blade which is mirror on the other side . Not a stain but probably different kind of steel / iron used during forging ....
