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. Roy |

Pike Topper Identification

Any other suggestions / recommendations? - Doug |
