Mandaya Spear?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just won this. On the way to me now.

Was listed as a Malaysian spear, but I think it is Mandaya, or possibly Lumad.

Seller's description:

Broad 15 inch blade with tapered point and median ridge extending to a molded hexagonal panel, the fluted and banded neck of octagonal section; 5 1/2 inch molded brass ferrule; original 95 inch rosewood haft of tapered and extremely flexible form; base with 5 inch iron foot.

My two are socketed but about the same blade length and outline .
Bravo!
These are practically never seen for sale . :D

Good score Bill; beauty !

Yeah, that's what I meant. Getting late here, a bit fuzzy. Should have said, Mandaya, a suburb of Lumad. Is that what I mean? It is a bit later and fuzzier, now. :o
