Default Spear for ID

This one hangs in a friends stairwell so please forgive the poor photography as it's very dark.

Neither of us have a clue as to origin. Any suggestions welcome.

Regards
Roy

Tom

It's about 5ft long.
Unfortunately the end has been "cropped" so nothing interesting there.

Default Pike Topper Identification

Thanks Again Tom,

Ok, I looked in the socket hole; there is no sign of a seam and the inside is much rougher to the touch than the outside of the pike (and the metal thickness is a little inconsistant around the outside/edges), so I am assuming it was hammered or poured as a single piece (?) although for as heavy and thick as it is, it would have been a tough go at it I would think.

Any other suggestions / recommendations?
