Hi Colin,
Interesting items indeed. Are you able to provide provenance linking these firmly to Arabia?
There is a short chapter in Elgoods's Arms and Armour of Arabia dealing with Lances and Spears, but the suggestion there is that the length of these is a good deal more than those illustrated in your Post (Quote "at least 12ft long). I have seen somewhere in a book, a pic of Arabian spears but for now I can not locate it. Mention of Arabian spears in general seems very sparce.
Nice items........
Stu
