May i query again on this lance?

[fernando]

I have shown this lance head in this Forum, nearly a year ago, but i wasn't lucky at getting any coments posted.
Still i wonder how hold is this blade forging tecnique, as i am not certain about this example's age.
It came with a part of its original shaft, judging by its rusticity and worm degradation.
The other day, some local person said it could be a 17th century Hunting Lance. Is this any plausible?
Would some of the Members coment on this blade making system, and what period it covered?
I would be so much obliged.
Kind regards
