Very nice spears and as far as I know completely as they should be. As for origin, I think they are from southern Africa and may even be ZULU as they used more than one type in reality. I had better watch out as Freddy might pop up with a picture of the barbed one showing a Congo origin . I think they are great and the long bladed one looks like it would move very well, gripped with one hand around the middle. Tim
