Hi Guys

This arrived today. It looks to be a very well made African spear the head is beautifully forged with a brass mesh collar. The only sad thing was the seller had to cut the shaft down to avoid charging me over $150 shipping from the U.K. something about oversized boxes? Well I was able to shave down the longer half of the shaft but lost 18" of its original length

The good thing is even though its shorter it does not look that bad

I did a some research and I think it could be Ethiopian or Somalian? Well here are some pics let me know what you think?
